Getting Started

Well, the move over from Blogger seems to be well under way.

There are a few things I need to do, like create a bloglist and get some other things taken care of, but all of my old posts and comments seem to have come over OK.

Hope y’all like the new digs.

    Followed you over. How was the transition? I’ve been getting gently nudged to move to wordpress, but I’ve heard the transition can be a real female dog.

      Actually, it was pretty painless. I created the blog, exported my blogger blog to an XML file, imported that here, and took a couple hours to pick out a theme and get things configured and situated. Only thing I haven’t done is re-create the blog roll.

      The dashboard takes some getting used to, but even after only using it for a few hours, I can say I prefer it to either the old or new Blogger.

        Its the export to XML thats the key, if you try to use wordpress’s importer directly it doesn’t quite work properly.

      Behind the yearly charge to customize themes. We’ll see on that. For now, this is just a cheap hobby.
