Working With Word Press

Since I am in the process of moving over to Word Press, I am learning about blog loyalty. I have to learn a new dashboard, new widgets, and just get familiar with the new system. I like the "categories" option that comes in Word Press. I'm not smart enough to get Blogger to do this. There is a problem though. Now I have to assign categories to 460 blog posts all the wya back to June 2004 - the day of my blog birth.

I do think Word Press is better than blogger because it gives more versititly while remaining free. I may try to get a host for a fee. Webbleyou is looking good right now. But for now, I am turning over a new leaf - Word Press.

I went to Worpress.com and was blogging in a minute. It was as easy as blogger.

I'm in the process of swtiching to Wordpress, and signed up with WebbleYou night before last. I figured at $4 a month and only having the pay a month at a time (instead of a year or two up front), I'd try it out. They set up wordpress for me (and I already had my domain name), and now I'm just working at getting my theme/templates the way I want them and additional plugins before I convert my blogger blog over. I've only used it a little over the last 24 hours, but I like it a lot so far and look forward to working with it from now on.
