Hello and welcome to Looking For Words. Visit my blog at Looking For Words Blog.

If you would like to comment on my posts, however, please visit my other blog, Blowin’ In The Wind, where you will find the same posts and where you are most welcome to comment.

I am sorry you can’t comment on Looking For Words Blog because it is a mirror site of my original blog, Blowin’ In The Wind.

Why a mirror site?

Because this is the only way I could think of running a WordPress blog!

I love WordPress. It’s constantly upgrading and, thanks to its plethora of themes and plug-ins, it can be used in more ways than any other blogging platform and can also serve as a content management system.

However, WordPress was not so user-friendly when I started blogging.

That is why I chose TypePad for my original blog, Blowin’ In The Wind. TypePad  is easy to use and the service and support are excellent. (You can read about it here and here.)

But there are things I can do on WordPress that I can’t on TypePad. For example, I can use the Sphere Related Content plug-in, which shows what other blogs and websites are saying on the same topic. And, best of all, WordPress, unlike TypePad, has its own search engine. Google and other search engines can be embedded on TypePad blogs, but the WordPress search engine is really fast and efficient.

So why don’t I change my original blog, Blowin’ In The Wind, from TypePad to WordPress? Because TypePad provides great service. You don’t have to upgrade and maintain TypePad yourself , which is what you have to do when running a self-hosted WordPress blog like this. This way you learn more but the TypePad option seems safer.

I started using WordPress with the idea of running a separate blog from Blowin’ In The Wind.

But every time I think of something to write about, I want to post it on Blowin’ In The Wind. That is how this became a mirror site.

Since it’s a mirror site, I have used the WordPress option to make it invisible to search engines. That means search engines are not likely to send visitors here.

But I still have the pleasure of blogging on WordPress! That’s how much I like it.

Thank you for looking up for Looking For Words.
