Giving up on self-hosting

Currently fixing my old blogger site and planning to move everything back there by the end of this year. So much for self-hosting really. I had so much expectations for going self-hosted but all it ever gave me was more work and maintenance to do plus more bills! It’s not paying off. The only thing it gave me was a better post editor but everything else was a pain. I had to install adsense separately, maintain plugins and backups regularly, fix my sitemap, submit important posts for indexing, pay for SSL, and so on. I never had to worry about this when I was on blogger simply because it’s under Google.

So now I’ve decided to go back to blogger despite them not working to improve their post editor and having bad themes. I figured I’d rather do it the old way, at least I have full control of the theme.


Oh well.
