Wordpress is nice and variable, and Medium is an utter joy to write with. I'm waiting until Ghost rolls out their hosted service and considering shifting everything I do to there as a central platform and crossposting (currently I have separate blogs for separate things, and I'd much prefer to have it all on one site in different sections).
An update of sorts for you, blackbootz and eightbitsamurai: I spent most of today getting Ghost hosted on a third-party site so I could get used to it (and brush up my skills, too). The install took a while, and the themes and features are still pretty lacking (though the next update, which is scheduled to be a couple of weeks away, is hopefully adding the ability to sort/categorise by tags, which is exactly what I want). But it looks nice and the posting system and markup is beautiful.
Glad to see all went well. I'm currently (in between school and working on Hubski, which is precious little time) working on setting up a way to manage multiple blogs on a single server so I can host my wife's portfolio and a blog for me as well.
Woah, Ghost looks awesome! Any idea on how much it'll be?
There's one hosted service currently in beta Hostghost and their launch pricing is £3.99/month, so I imaging £5/month minimum wouldn't be too out there.
Ghost source is available for download and runs quite nicely already, for free if you have your own hosting. I'm playing around with it now. Thinking about replacing my own blogging platform with it now, since I I have web refresh coming up. It's beautifully simple.
