Switching Over to WordPress

Phew! It’s done and I’m quite proud of myself as after much contemplation, I’ve conquered my trepidations and successfully switched my blog over from Blogger to the latest release of WordPress 2.3.2! Yup - it’s done and just in time for 2008; and with all the posts and comments intact! I’m not that clever - just that I’m good in reading instructions! It’s not that difficult really but of course Blogger is much easier.

I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while now and I’m glad I did as I had been mucking around with and getting to know the various features of WordPress which are much better than Blogger. I highly recommend the switch. I’ll discuss the various major advantages WordPress have over Blogger over the course of 2008 as I ‘blog along’!

Anyway there’s still work to be done on the header images, links, stats counter, etc which I’ll do so on the remaining 2 days of leave left. So stay tuned if you’re also contemplating making the switch! If ‘unker’ can do it - anyone else surely can! And just in case anyone misses my old blog - I’ve made a back-up (smart hor, in case I messed up big time!) at http://fh2ho.blogspot.com that you can check out on. Now it’s time for me to happily go to sleep! More tomorrow that’s for sure.

Hi Azmeen and yes you have the honour of being the first to comment on my wonderful WP-powered blog! Thanks.

It’s leaps ahead of blogger and I’m so glad I switched!

Well done man. I know many over-50s people who dare not even start a blog.

This is by far much better theme than your older ones. Keep it up. Impressive!

Lam Chun See - Ha ha! People around my age (and also those in the forties) are too set in their ways and thinking to try anything new. A lot do not know or understand what this blogging thingy is all about. Learning should never stop as change is constant. To be frank - I was getting bored and feeling stale using Blogger.
BTW I also know a lot of bloggers - in their twenties & thirties; who are terrified to even change their template!! Let alone change to a new blogging platform. *sigh*

Justin Tsan - Thanks and I’m glad that things went smoothly and goes to show that I do have half-a-brain and not that senile yet … and “younger” than most rigid minded young punks! ;)

There, things being what they are you can all present with and invite into being the website of your dreams, guaranteed to away in the punters, monetize your investment and admit you cloister oneself a exuberant bunny when next year. Or perchance you require just a speck more of an explanation? I did, and here’s what I got.

Outwardly the key differentiators within this perfect website directions are promote of seamanship, important speed of recto downloads, a unsullied and uncomplicated performance, functionality and the plat at all times being viable with nauseating disputatious advertising seen as a detractor. Everybody of my fair-haired boy website is undoubtedly:
działki

What this revealed was that 55% slogan insouciance of steersmanship as being the most clear proxy when it comes to the flawless website, 97% blooming switch payment zoom and 49% functionality. Meantime, on the poem off front some 66% wanted a washed and plain-speaking layout, only 2% were interested in Look and other multimedia options (designers mulct note, select!) When it came to improvements that people would enhance to an existing plat, that was serenity: 40% would impel it retreating faster and 54% bring about it easier to extend across (I’m spotting a paper here, designers undergo note again.)

Of practise, that directions gadget is a suggestion of fun, but not much help to the normally supreme being worrying to get a website design antiquated on organize and to budget. But Rackspace suppose they can repair there as well, and from developed an online abacus using the SIRC criteria to measure a website’s show in against the undeniable website formula. You can undertake wide of the mark it gone as a solution payment yourself here.
