My personal website contained my blog until December 2007. It was at that time I decided that maybe I should switch to using a different blog posting mechanism instead of my homegrown blog which I put together using BlogEngine.NET and Subsonic. It was okay but I was never really satisfied with it. Hence, the creation of this blog last December.
I've had issues with people getting to my personal website in the past. Therefore, I've decided to move it to a free hosting solution with my domain name provider, Go Daddy (they gave me "credits" since I've registered quite a few names with them).
Now, I've always been opposed to FREE hosting because it's not really free. They put ads on your site and that's aesthetically unpleasing since you can't move them to another place on the page. But I've decided to succumb to the advertising in an effort for friends and family to have the ability to access it without issue.
Okay, why this is important to this blog since my personal website is closed to the general public ...
After reading Caramama's posts about Pumpkin's first year, I realized that with my memory being as horrible as it is, I might want to save at least the posts I did regarding my pregnancy, lil' Monkey's birth and the experiences I had afterward. I was going to wipe everything off the database and start fresh with the new site but I think I may move at least those particular posts to this blog and label them "Pre-Blogger" or something. At least I'll have them here with the other Parenthood posts.
Is this cheating? I kinda feel like it might be. Plus, I'm still debating on whether I should bring over the comments as well. That would take a while I think. Plus, do I just post all of them as anonymous or contact the individual commenters (I know them all personally except one) to get approval? Not sure.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Is this cheating? What to do with the comments?

I don't think it's cheating at all. I think it's a great idea to move them over here in some sort of archive!
The comments... that's trickier. I would probably do some sort of cost/benefit analysis (gotta love the consultant talk, right?) and weigh the time it would take versus how much the comments contributed to the post. But that's just me! :)
