You make it sound so easy. I don't have an outside blog at this time but am considering it.
Have A Great Day!
Mike ... Thanks for this post about your moving blog platforms to Wordpress.org. I also pondered that move for about a year and jumped in about 3 weeks ago with about 14 different URLs for blogs. We now have independent control over content and message, and it's more fun too.
I'll find your WP platform and check it out. When you have time, check one of mine out at www.LiveAtNewportBeach.com. Thanks.
Thanks Matthew, you're right - Wordpress is great!
Doris - it really easy and I highly recommend GoDaddy to buuy your domain and then host it. Their tech. support people are awesome - fast, knowledgeable, helpful, and they don't make you feel like your questions are stupid. (Like mine sometimes are!) :-)
Pocono Mtn. - Check it out - you'll find it very easy to implement.
Hey Harrison, thanks for the comment. I did check out your blog "Live at Newport Beach" and it is so well done! What theme did you use for that?
I have a regular Wordpress blog, and did not know that there are advantages to switching to Wordpress.org. I'll be reading up on it and will consider switching over.
Sandy, be sure and think about the differences to see if they are important to you. I think the biggest is just more control and flexibility - like adding some things to your sidebar using html.
Mike- I'm going to check this out. I use GoDaddy where I first designed my website. I use them to host it as well as my business email. I started another outside blog using WP.com Based on your answer to Sandy (#6) I'll have to see if it would be worth my making the switch. BTW I agree with you, I've always had great customer service and tech support from GoDaddy.
I went over to take a peek! Love it! I also have a self hosted wordpress site now, but didn't pull the old stuff in. But, you have just reminded me to put something on the old one directing people to the new one...
Hope you are well!
Hi Kathy and thanks. Yeah, sometimes self-hosted is good - sometimes not.
Hey Andrea, glad I could help and thanks for the comment. How about sending me the link to your selfhosted blog - i'd like to check it out.
Mike
Awesome! Wordpress is such a gem!
