Move

Posted on by

No entries in this blog for a whole week! This is a record.

I spent the week moving. In real life, I helped my friends Allen and Lily to move to their new apartment over the Mid-Autumn weekend. Their new home has the best view of the Victoria Harbour. I must bring my digital camera and take some photos next time.

On internet, I moved this site to a new hosting company, 0101Host, which offers a MySQL plan at only HK$36.00 per month. The storage size is only 100 megabytes but I think it would be okay, considering the contents of my site are basically text. What I am not sure is the traffic, the monthly limit is only 300 MB. This hosting company also has 24-hour hotline support (but not available on the Mid-Autumn holiday). I am quite satisfied with their service at this moment, but we will see.

For the content management tool, I have switched from Blogger to Movable Type. I am grateful to all the assistance lent to me in the support forum, those guys are really helpful in my implementation of this powerful blogging tool.

My current plan is to migrate my movie reviews page and my photoblog to Movable Type, and then create some static contents like an About page or E-mail form. I will also need to find an attractive stylesheet for the site.

  2. 2 reasons to change:

    (a) I just migrated to Movable Type, and am still busy twisting with the templates and directory structure of the site. Design will be dealt with later.

    (b) the previous design (adopted from a theme called “A Little More Professional” found in blogskins.com) was made mainly by the “Table” tag. I wish to learn to make the site free of the Table tag, unless I have to use it.

    It’s nice to meet blogger from the Mainland. Judging from the number of members of CNBlog, there are much more bloggers in Mainland than in Hong Kong.
