My own domain?

I have been thinking. I was actually inspired by dirtylaundrydiva, she recently move to her very own domain. Good for her; I am just loving her blog bling-bling and all. So I have been thinking of getting one of my own. I enjoy blogging so much, let me rephrase it, I am addicted to blogging. There are a lot of perks when you have your own domain if you don’t mind that you’d be paying for it.

I have read 12 reasons why I should opt blogging with my own domain. What do you think about this?

I have been seriously contemplating on this and I have below my pro-con list.

Here is my Pro list

1. I can add as much plug-ins
2. I can customize my themes as much as I want to. I have this girly and cutesy theme planned out… *super huge grin*
3. My URL is fairly shorter compared to my current URL
4. Honestly, I would like to earn some passive income out of this addiction
5. I can tweak the codes (I will try and learn some decent web development from now on)

My Con list on the other hand.

1. I will be shelling out some cash
2. I will have to start all over again but then this is not much of a problem. Patience is a virtue.
3. I have no basic knowledge on HTML or something, so maintaining my own website can be such a challenge at a certain point

Basically that’s all I can think of as of now. I am really seriously considering this. James thinks its a great idea that I move to a more permanent online home. Can you help a friend out and tell me should I move or should I just stay?

Cosmopolitan and Playboy. What do they have in common?

“Playboy addresses men and Cosmopolitan addresses women, yet the visual rhetorics of both magazines reflect the male gaze and promote the idea that women should primarily concern themselves with attracting and sexually satisfying men.” Read more about this article.
