Kind of peculiar that a large company like Carnival would use WordPress.com for their blog rather than hosting it on their own domain. Is that a common practice? Definitely a good blog, though.
I have my own hosting where I use WordPress, but I also run 2 blogs (well, the occasional post) on WordPress.com, since… it’s extremely easy to set up new blogs. They can be ones with names and topics unrelated to your own hosting. Sometimes I wonder if hosting under a subdomain (to save on registering a new domain) affects how people view the content… Not sure about others, but when I see a blog under a subdomain that interests me, I tend also to visit the main one, and that almost always affects how I view the blog.
Back to the topic: Thanks for recommending the blog, Mark Ghosh I’ll add it to my list of ‘fun-reads’!
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
