Ali’s Space

I’ve tried using Windows Live Spaces. It was good for a start, but then after reading the following post I decided to switch to WordPress.

I thought Windows Live Spaces was a good choice, but I feel that WordPress seems to have a lot more features and is a lot more powerful. One thing that really bugged me about Windows Live Spaces is the ad at the top of my blog. I don’t know of any other blogging service currently that forces you to have ads when you don’t want them.

So hopefully this will be a good choice for me.

I used Windows Live Writer to write my blog entries and it seems to be a very well done app. It automatically detects my blog and allows me to post in a WYSIWYG fashion which is great. Not only that but it can be extended using many plugins (such as an Insert Flickr Image). A good site for plugins can be found at http://wlwplugins.com/.

I haven’t been writing much on my blog because I haven’t been doing much that is interesting. I’ve been going out and exploring Montreal . I am loving the greenery that is here. I will try to write some more, as I have time, about things from my past, and my future plans. So stay tuned and enjoy

There are two ways you can subscribe to my RSS feed. The more permanent way is through my FeedBurner feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/aliabdin. I will keep this URL always pointing to my blog. Another way is through WordPress (which obviously can change if I switch blogging services, which I don’t plan to do at the moment). The URL for this would be at http://aliabdin.wordpress.com/feed/.
