Your day job has you doing web and database development. Why did you decide to use third party services like Ourmedia, Blogger, and Feedburner?
A Because I wanted to focus on the process of providing content on an ongoing basis rather than getting bogged down in being a service provider to myself or embarking on a sofware development journey of discovery instead of a musical one. That said, I think I spent a fair bit of time unfudging things I would have sorted out quickly had I been in charge rather than the robots. Anyone who has spent any time with WYSIWYG web tools probably has a good sense of what I mean.
