Migrating from blogger to wordpress

Filed Under (Blog Stuff, Rambling) by BlurMommy on 18-10-2007

When I migrated my food blog over from blogspot to its own domain, I thought it was going to be easy and was I wrong!! It took a lot longer than I expected. When I tried to import my blogger data over to worpress using the import function, it would not work!! It kept giving me an error message. Finally I had to migrate from blogspot over to wordpress.com then over to the domain. A double move, instead! Then finally success or so I thought till I realized that all my photos are in blogger!! Aaargh……

So for the past month, I had to upload all > 150 photos to Flickr and slowly change all the links in my posts!! *sigh*  But now I’ve finally finish moving & linking all the photos. Hopefully I won’t discover any more surprises!!

My first upgrade!

Phew! I just did my first Wordpress upgrade. Surprisingly it was very easy thanks to Fantastico. As in any upgrade, there’s always a fear of the entire blog getting all messed up but thankfully, this blog is still here & looks ok. :D

There really is a lot to learn when using my own domain. So much different from using Blogger. It is definitely more fun with all the flexibility of my own blog but it also comes with the fear that I will install something that will crash my blog!! I’m still tweaking around this blog, so one day, if you see my blog missing or something wierd, it means I’ve messed up somewhere!!! haha……
