    I want to migrate my blog to Ghostly, but I'm thinking it might be better to just buckle down with Wordpress, get a dedicated host and url so I can ditch the ".wordpress" part of my blog, and actually learn something about SEO (shudder) if I want to get more views.

I say do it! Sounds like you could learn a lot in the process. And by it I mean find a host and learn some SEO. Although now that I think about it, that view is predicated on the idea of you losing followers when migrating to Ghostly. Do you think you'd lose a lot of traffic migrating?

To Ghost, yeah. I just want a bit more control in my website as a whole.

I'll do it tonight, just to see what happens.

Edit: Whelp. http://eightbitsamurai.co/ is now a thing. Let's see how this goes. Gonna read a massive SEO tutorial tomorrow, and start getting a redirect going from the old blog to keep traffic. Woot.
