With simplicity comes lack of flexibility :-)
Although, once you get used to it and get it set up like you like it, wordpress isn’t too bad to use.

one of my favorite features is the ‘press it’ link. If you haven’t found it yet, go to the write post page and at the bottom you see a link called “Press It - (blog name here)” drag that to you bookmarks and then whenever you are on some page that you want to blog about it will take you to your post page, put in the title for you as well as link to the page you were just on. And once you publish that post, it will take you back to where you were. Pretty nice.

What plugin (if any) are you using to add the pictures to your adsense? I’ve seen that technique quite a bit lately.

Robert: it’s the “AdSense beautifier”….comes out as the top entry if you google it.

Ambellamy: honestly, curiosity was the only reason. everyone said having your own .com blog helps and I just wanted to try it. :) there are some more reasons and I will write a post about it soon. :)

Golbguru: One more thing to remind you. If you think you new site is ready, be sure to email webmaster of pflogs.org so they can switch your feed from blogger to this new site so people won’t keep going to the old site.

I noticed you changes several templates. Is this the last one :D?

Sun: Thanks for reminding about pfblogs.org. I am not sure about the template changes…somehow this one seems to serve me good, but the “Archives” page right below the heading doesn’t seem to work..and I really want it to work :)..so let’s see how it goes.

Golbguru,

Good Luck on your new site, I will visit often!

12 Super Saver 11.18.06 at 7:55 pm

I’ve been watching the site morph as you are developing it. I enjoy seeing a different look every time I visit. Perhaps you could make “having a different look with every visit” be a future feature :-) Could be a draw for readers:-)

Seriously, good luck on the transition. It appears Wordpress has some great features not available on Blogger. I look forward to your evaluation.

Golb, you’re just making my daily rounds more complicated! =) J/k, welcome to your new home!

14 Sharon 11.19.06 at 4:47 pm

Wow, wow, wow! Love the site. Makes me want to go WordPress…. What? I only made 11 comments so far? I have to come by more often… I gotta get one of those Top Commenter script.

Congratulations on new site :) I have never used WordPress, so can’t give you any tips for better experience, but just these words - Doesn’t matter where, but keep writing. You will always have your readers :)

16 Golbguru 11.19.06 at 7:24 pm

Super Saver: yeah finally stuck with this one..must have tried more than a couple of dozen themes. I will post a detailed article on this whole experience.

MsMiniducky: I know it is a pain :)…though you were J/k…sorry about that trouble :)
Sharon: yeah I am discovering new and nice things on wordpress…you will want to migrate to wordpress some point of time :)
nku: thanks for the encouragement man, hope this new venture works out alright.:)
