The 20-min Move

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

It took me an overall 20 minutes to land here on this WordPress platform, hosted on by my own server:

I moved from Blogger (www.louispagan.blogspot.com) to WordPress (www.louispagan.wordpress.com) to my own domain (www.louispagan.com), in two days that took about 20 min overall.

Ten minutes to install WP on my existing host account (I had more room than I thought/and they had a one-click install). Since it was that easy, I just re-pointed my domain name (already had this) there . Now all that is left is deciding on a theme (another 10 min to upload), and tweak it from there, and I’m done.

This was much quicker than I thought thanks to the pre-install already installed by my hosting domain (most do this now probably). Sweet.

Hello,

Congratulations! I am trying to move off Blogger over to wordpress myself. Do you have to install? How much does it cost? I was able to transfer all my blogger posts, but cannot manipulate the themes, which is what I am most interested in.

Thanks! Hmm, the text of blogger to wordpress is pretty straight forward as export/import.

As far as themes, you may want to look for some free themes and play around with those. I’ve seen some pretty good themes for under a 100 bucks as well. If you don’t want to pay type in some key words into Google on manipulating or editing WordPress themes.
