I Moved to WordPress.com

I visited WordPress’s first-ever pilot project, Career Camp 2024, in Kolkata, and it was a pleasant experience. At the WordPress stall, I met two fantastic individuals offering a 75% discount. Without hesitation, I purchased a Creator Plan for my blog.

My blog holds great significance as I share my life experiences and thoughts on it. The photos and memories on the site are crucial. Managing my blog on a slower hosting provider, where I do all the heavy lifting, made it challenging to focus on the stories I wanted to share and maintain timely updates. Additionally, I required ample storage for my photographs and videos.

I migrated my blog to WordPress.com and redesigned it. In fact, I’m refining its design every day, understanding that design is an iterative process. The blog now has a simpler, more feed-like structure, discarding unnecessary features.

The objective of these changes was to lower barriers to publishing and cultivate a space conducive to writing. These small iterations enable a quicker, more effortless publishing flow, transforming posting into a seamless writing experience rather than a checklist.

The revamped design makes it easier for readers to navigate the website and read my blogs. I genuinely appreciate its precision and welcoming feel.

Great! WordPress.com is absolutely awesome. I’m on the free plan, but the creator plan sure does sound amazing.

It’s worth the upgrade. I’m not regretting this.
