ARRRGGHHH! I managed to move my posts to dedicated hosting at wordpress. Along the way, I lost some formatting, probably a lot of page rank, and my comments. But, I felt that it had to be done. The blogger interface was so slow, was always breaking down, and I needed to do something. I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed. I’ll fix everything in the morning.
You shouldn’t lose any page rank, on your primary domain. You can setup your permalink urls in wordpress to match the one’s in blogger, so that your interior pages retain there pageranks as well.
I started out on blogger and changed to my own domain about four months ago. It’s a more difficult road at first, but it will be well worth it in the long run. Congratulations on moving to your own domain.
Best of luck during these late night formatting sessions.
Congrats on the move! WordPress offers some great functionality and has loads of plugins. If you have any questions setting it up feel free to email.
I like the new look. Hope all the kinks work out for you.
Good luck!
Yours new site looks cool NCN….well it takes a lots of time and energy when you make changes to sites. So take some rest and come back with your precious helpful posts.
New reader of your site.
You are now truly king of your own domain! Congratulations on the successful move, site looks great.
Wow, this looks great. Nice job.
Nice new look! Not sure if you saw my other comment, but would be interested to hear more about how it was going when you were using blogger with your own hosting, which I am considering doing. I’m not sure I can handle trying to learn WordPress!
