Following the A2Z 2021 Challenge during which I visited a fair few blogs, I have decided to upgrade from Blogger to WordPress. I gradually realised that those sites on WordPress were more professional in terms of control of layout and features.
First point of confusion for me, I thought I already had a WordPress site but I soon learned that mine was not self-hosted wordpress.org but WordPress.com which, rather like Blogger, has limitations of it’s own. Don’t get me wrong, Blogger is and has been, excellent for me but I want to go just a bit further even though it means paying a price.
However one price I am assured that it will not cost, is you dear readers. I have opted for having the transition done for free by the backroom boys and girl – not because I couldn’t manage to follow the lengthy “how to” list, but because I have too much other work on at present but they assure me that current readers won’t even notice a difference except in terms of the new theme – and I hope I have picked one that looks and works similarly. Starting the process on a Friday evening has left it hanging till Monday so here I am still on dear old Blogger.
See you on the other side – fingers crossed…
P.S. If you are on Blogger and lamenting the withdrawal of Feedburner, Frederique shared this guide to alternative email subscriptions…
