DeCoster Web Media

This blog shows recent paintings and other artwork. It is done with MovableType.

Nezúmi is a country I started a few years ago and this blog provides updates on the nation. This blog uses a goDaddy package called QuickBlog. There are more flexible packages available from other vendors but I wanted to try a few different things and goDaddy is a popular web hosting service. This blog will soon be deleted as there are better solutions available.

Il nostro viaggio in Italia

I was on sabbatical for the 2007-8 academic year and my wife and I moved to Florence, Italy for the year. This blog is mainly photos and also uses the QuickBlog package on goDaddy. GoDaddy now supports WordPress, so there is really no reason to use this software. When time permits I will move this blog to WordPress.

Italian for Cooks

This site is done with WordPress. WordPress provides a pretty flexible blogging and site management package. It is open source and many hosting services provide it as part of their basic service. You should not have to pay extra for it. I will be using WordPress more and gradually migrating other blogs to this platform.
