Razer Megasoma Review

Razer Megasoma is a hybrid of a hard and a soft mouse mat; If you love the softness of a soft mat but want to have the speed of a hard mat, Razer Megasoma delivers (this is debatable and I guess more like a personal preference). Razer Megasoma sits somewhere in between, combining the best [...]

Migrating from Blogger to WordPress

Well you just saw one of them! Multiple Pages support! Not to mention the native “Read more” support whereas in Blogger, you need to “hack” the template html/xml file.
To make it easy, I’ll list the features I like in WordPress:

  • Better administration control panel (more stuff and intuitive)
  • Plug-ins! (yes Blogger has it too, but this is open source! Meaning, people will keep on building plug-ins!)
  • Prettier Templates (compare my blog now with the old Blogger… ugh)
  • Much much much easier to insert AdSense code! (if you don’t know what AdSense is, then don’t bother)
  • Categories!! In Blogger, all of your posts are archived by month, now what’s the purpose of that for your site visitors?
  • Static Pages (Contact Me, etc) that you can create and their links will be added automatically
  • Can split a post into multiple pages, easier to have an expandable post summary
  • Other stuffs that I have yet to find out in more than just one day! :)

If you are still using Google Blogger and want to move to WordPress, there’s an import feature as well. I used that feature to import my blogs over (well there were not much though, only about 6 blogs in total) with ease.

WordPress is being actively developed as well, meaning we will expect more and more features coming in to WordPress. Yay!

Yet another interesting post! A bit short than we expect now from you, but of course, you didn’t have as many readers then! :D Are you happy with WordPress now? Do you regret anything? And /did/ you lose your PageRank?

lol yeah, I was still learning how to write in English (sort of) :D

I’m so happy with it now and didn’t regret my decision at all. When you get your own domain/hosting, I’d suggest to go for WordPress :)

Advice taken… a year later. :-) Geez, now you got me reading this post again, and this made me think of how you said Blogger didn’t have as many updates, well, I forgot to mention on the other comment, but it got another update: official Read More links and options where to cut off your excerpt, without any hacks! :P Things have changed after all! :P

…and Wordpress is still better – really, what with creating Wave and stuff, if Google really cared, they could make Blogger amazing.

I’m planning to change my blogger blog to wordpress too but i might lose my PageRank. So before i change to wordpress, maybe you can write some tips about this Michael.

Regards.

Hm..that means you are changing domain names? I think there’s a way to setup redirection so that you don’t lose the PageRank. But I’m not too sure about that at this stage. Need to do some more readings
