I've been learning their Advanced Templates and setting up custom ad spots -- interesting stuff!

That about sums it up. I can give you access to one of my MT installs if you want to look around a bit and check it out. I think MT is just more solid and more user friendly and intuitive. But then again, it may be that it fits how my mind works :) Shoot me an email if you're interested in taking a peek. Yes. That about sums it up.

FF3 has made some nice enhancements - in addition to speed, I especially appreciate them shifting the "save password" buttons to after you've logged in to a site. It always bothered me that they were asking before I even knew if my combo was correct or not - it shows a better awareness of user behavior. I only run XP at home and work, so it's been pretty solid for me so far. I'm looking forward to RC2 and the final build. Movable Type is the Typepad equivalent of the WP installed software (vs. WP.com), right? I've only worked on the Typepad platform, which seems to be more akin to WP.com, although you pay for it.

I have enjoyed your blog for quite some time now. I definitely like FF RC1- speed is much improved. I've also noticed it crashes more on Vista (hmm.. wonder why...? ;)) more than XP. As for hosting WP, I use 1&1 with 2 WP installs, and MANY Movable Type installs (MT my blogging software of choice) and none of them seem to be slow. WP inherently publishes dynamically which should not tax the server much. Thanks for the link back to my site! I have enjoyed your blog for quite some time now.

I also noticed a problem on a Wordpress blog and thought maybe we need to cast out demons. I have a great web host that has 99.99% (or something like that) up time so there really is no reason for it to be down. On Wordpress or Blogger you're relying on their whole system. Time is money since we're making so much money on these blogs. Jeff I noticed that. I also noticed a problem on a Wordpress blog and thought maybe we need to cast out demons.

I would think that any slowness with hosted blogs would depend on the specific host servers and probably isn't a true generalization with WP.com. I've been doing some custom blog development for a client on Typepad and it makes me appreciate WP more and more everyday. Thanks for the comments, Jeff.

I like those. I've been using FF RC1 since it came out and like it except for it crashes now and then where FF 2 didn't. Hopefully they'll fix that. I haven't found my own hosted blog to be slower but I haven't done any tests with a stop watch. I think the benefits outweigh any negatives. Jeff Thank you for #2. I like those.

I've had to switch Web hosts to support some other non-blog projects, but one of the benefits is lots of SQL database support and one-click WordPress installs. I'll keep playing around with it and see if I still want to switch... Thanks for the feedback, David.
