Sep. 1st, 2007 06:21sometimes it's funny how things converge -- i had started to look at drupal because i wanted to leave LJ for another platform, and, having already experienced running my own blog software and the inherent isolation that brings, thought of trying to switch to something that could potentially allow other people to join.
some LJers have already left, and some of those went to wordpress.com, where i created a blog to check out the offerings.
some people in yaoi fandom were also getting fed up with LJ, and started to create their own site to provide a haven for other yaoi fans.
at the same time, expatriate snigglers are making noises about missing their old community, but don't feel returning to what it is now would work.
so now i am a beta tester on the new yaoi site, which uses wordpress MU (multi-user), i am a member at wordpress.com to check out their service, i have extra motivation to play with drupal, and i can compare those without having to install wordpress MU myself. also, i have access to a largish userbase whose comments about it i can read and consider.
