WordPress – I’m in Love

UPDATE:

Took the plunge! Installed WordPress on my server so now my blog is served through my web site. WordPress made it easy. Even though I was a little nervous about setting up databases and the like, it was a piece of cake and a piece of cake to import my blogger blogs as well. Now I have to get everything ship shape.

Wow! Just discovered WordPress’ hosted blogging solution and have made the decision to jump ship from Blogger to this even though Blogger allows me to integrate my blog into my web site and WordPress doesn’t (yet) provide this capability. The capabilities it does provide are astonishing, however, in a free platform. Blogrolls, categories, additional pages – all stuff that’s either unavailable or unobvious or requiring additional coding to enable in Blogger – are easy to access & implement features of WordPress. I’m so happy :-) My next step is to migrate my several dozen posts from my existing blog to WordPress. I’m confident that I’ll be able to accomplish this with little problem. I’ll let you know.

A final note: Don’t get me wrong. I think Blogger is great and the fact that you can easily integrate it into your site is great as well but it’s more for what I would consider beginning bloggers – like I still am in many respects – or amateur bloggers. I know that there is a free, downloadable version of WP that I can host on my ISP’s server and I’ll get to that soon. When I do that then WordPress won’t just be integrated into my site, it will, most likely, be my site. It’s that robust.
