funniculee is dredging up old memories of past literary loves
I have my own hosted site now. And Blogger is ticking me off at the moment! WordPress seems to offer some neat possibilities. I am going to give it a shot.
I just finished importing my blog from LiveJournal to Wordpress and everything went smoothly. I’m liking what I’m seeing and now just have to do a few minor tweaks to my theme setting but for practical purposes I have a fully functional Wordpress blog as of now.
If you are on a first name basis with me and want a link send me a PM through 43 people and I’ll get the URL to you. If not and you want to see if I consider you worthy to learn my secret identity feel free to do so. Finally to all that either don’t have or don’t want to use any smackers, comment below and put me down as a person that you want to meet (even if you don’t) so I can send it to you without spending any smackers.
Jayme Once upon a time I ripped the wings from my spine.
I just switched from Typepad to Wordpress. I am currently still using the free version but plan to add upgrades.
Someone else actually set it up for me so I have no idea how to help anyone with this…still trying to figure out how to import Blogger since the script for it has been changed recently.
Jim Carson Taking a break from 43 things
Last December I migrated from MovableType to WordPress. Migration was easy, facilitated by their scripts to convert databases. In the two months following, there were six upgrades of the product—one major and three security patches (as in “apply these now”). The worst was also the most recent, involving a breach of the distribution .)
On top of all this, my WSP has been upgrading PHP5 on its servers. This has been wreaking havoc in unexpected ways, and is apparently not unknown in the PHP community
While Wordpress has many interesting add ons, its maintenance requirements are more than I have time for.
I just ‘migrated’ my blogger content to wordpress yesterday, which didn’t go too smoothly. Now I have to try to make it look the way I want to which appears to be fairly involved considering my php and css skills are not yet up to snuff. By the time I figure it out I will be the master. Otherwise wp seems to have more features, be a little more friendly, and my favorite: doesn’t require an entire rebuild ever time you change anything or write a new entry. Worth doing, but took some effort.
I wrote about my experience here:

I don’t think Blogger has evolved much since I switched, but WordPress allows plug-ins to be used, which helps. Blogger can be very configured if you know your HTML, but if you’re like me, a plug-in is more comfortable.
anyway, i’m currently using .Text to run my blog (which by the way is not supported by 43 Things) and I’m getting pretty frustrated with it. I’m sure Scott is working on it but the lack of updates is a little sucky. So I’m gonna switch to WordPress, seems like all the cool kids are doing it.
