Problems to Come

I‘ve been using Blogger to manage Seriously Good for almost seven years now. Blogger has enabled me to host the blog on my own domain providing the control I want over SG‘s format with minimal day-to-day effort from me. On the down-side, it hasn’t always been easy to persuade Blogger to do what I wanted. Blogger is stopping support for the route I’ve taken (my own domain and FTP access if you happen to be interested) and so I’m investigating alternatives. I may remain with Blogger, but migrating to WordPress looks most likely.
All of this is to say that if Seriously Good goes wonkers for a few days or even disappears, don’t worry, it will be back – same place, same time.







KD-When I started my blog in Jan. I got advice to go WordPress-and I may- I’m a rookie so the learning curve can be high. I like the way the WP blogs look, but since I started on Blogger I’m comfortable. I’ll stay tuned. Have a great weekend!
Check out SquareSpace. Good hosting & very flexible design tools. Also has full import & export. Free trial w/o a credit card, too.
Susan from Fatfree Vegan and I are in the same boat –
Tupper,
If I were using Blogspot I’d stay, but since I have to move anyway…
Mattazuma,
I already have a host I’m happy with, but thanks.
Alanna,
Derrick at Obsession with Food tells me I can migrate to WordPress from here but will have to pass through Blogspot first. And even then there are problems.{sigh}
It does look like the first step to migrating to WP is to go to Blogspot. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a step-by-step from a blogger who’s done it: http://skew.dailyskew.com/2010/02/moving-and-migrating-from-google-blogger-ftp-to-wordpress.html
I’m planning to move to WordPress, but the whole thing makes me very nervous.
Susan,
Thanks a bunch. That’s a big help. Makes me nervous too – and it should. You want to take it slow and double and triple check each step along the way. Remember Murchy’s Law.
