With the addition of the new minimalistic Pico blog designs, I finally decided to move my blog from a hosted WordPress install to TypePad. TypePad was an easy choice (not just because I work at Six Apart but) because I really wanted some simple post management tools, a GUI compose, and a nice design without having to do much work.
A few folks have asked about using a hosted blog service as oppose to using my own software, hosted on my own server. Truthfully, I'm just not that interested in writing or maintaining my own blog software at the moment. Maybe some day...
I've also moved this blog to blog.leahculver.com (in case I have some grand plan for leahculver.com some day) and have redirected all my blog links, so as not to break the web.
