A Whole New World!
I’ve finally made the switch from blogger (weak) to WordPress (infinitely superior)! It was actually fairly simple to make the switch since WordPress has an “import blogger blog” button, that will import all of your content from your blogger blog.
Here are my top 5 reasons why WordPress is better then Blogger’s blogging platform:
1. WordPress has hundreds of thousands of cool plugins/widgets to customize your blog in practically any way imaginable.
2. WordPress is more search engine friendly then Blogger.
3. WordPress has a vastly infinite selection when it comes to themes/skins.
4. WordPress is more user friendly.
5. All the cool kids are switching from Blogger to WordPress. There has to be a reason why that is…
So my blog has been moved to its new home (complete with new look), redirects are in place, custom tweaks are mostly done, co-op is set up, cool plug-ins have been activated and I’m back to blogging
.
So, let’s use one of these cool new plugins now, shall we?
Hey Summer!
How did you get your blogger to redirect to your new wordpress? I checked it out & liked it so I switched over to them too.
Finally you did it. Good job. Be sure to keep up with the updates. I recommend doing what I do, which is install an automatic backup plugin. Every day my database is backed up and emailed to me automatically. That way if anything happens or you get hacked, you’ll have your data.
yup. I just switched to wordpress too and it is awesome! I can’t believe it even imported all the pictures (a little important for my blog;) check it out! http://.vallentynephotography.net/
Jashana – I did a tricky re-direct (with the help of my brother), but try this on for size:

I want to see your new WP blog! Where is it located
?
Mediaguru – Good idea on the automatic backup. Do you know what the one you are using is called?
Heather – I love it! Your site looks amazing.
