After considering this for a few years, I've finally decided to set-up my own domain with my blog running on WordPress. WordPress has a new import facility that allows LJ users to import all their entries + replies.
Its been a stressful time searching for hosting providers and reading various reviews to make a decision. Was about to go with HostGator as that received the most positive reviews but once I converted US$ to RM for 2yrs it was way more logical to go with a Malaysian service provider. They come out to 30% cheaper and they also provided easy set-up of WordPress using Fantastico.
So over the next few weeks, I'm gonna satisfy the tech geek in me.
Stay tuned as I share the trials & tribulations of this process.

Thanks very much for your interesting blog. It's always nice to see how people on the other side of the globe live, how they share the same joys and sorrows, what they do in their free time, etc.
I actually have a question about your blog. Would you mind helping us with a linguistic research project? We're compiling data from various Singaporean weblogs. All it requires is checking a few boxes. If you want to take part and/or have more questions, drop me a note ( hack2301@uni-trier.de RE: Question ) so that I can then send you the 'official' project eMail. We'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks very much in advance!
Best regards,
