Changing to my own host service and Wordpress Platform

By Laura | Sep 25, 2007

The domain of this blog is hosted for free on Blogger, but not for too long. In a few days the transference of this domain to Bluehost.com will be completed and I have a lot of work to do. I’m going to change the platform to Wordpress so, in order for the blog to have a short downtime I have to work fast. I already changed my www.usefulstuffblog.com to WP, added a few plugins and I tried it to get some knowledge of the new platform.I don’t know if there is an easier way to do it but here is what I intend to do:

Install Wordpress with Fantastico
Install some themes and choose the right one (I already have one in mind)
Install some Plugins
Copy all the codes in the sidebars
Build the Blogroll (I guess I have to insert the links one by one)
other details will be added later

I hope to do this very quickly, so if the blog is down it will be only for a couple of hours.

Why the change to Wordpress? I have a blogger blog (free) and will probably leave it there, although wordpress does seem to have better site structure.

I do Paid Posts and I have more chances to get work with a paid domain and host. blogspot blogs are excluded most of the time.
Also Wordpress Platform is great because of all the plugins you can use. So far so good!
