Happy New Year (plus a review of recent activity)
Happy New Year! May 2008 fulfill every dream you have!
What a month it’s been! I moved my pet health education and news blog (http://4usuccessprograms.blogspot.com/) from Google’s free Blogger hosting and software to my own hosting service using WordPress blogging software. I also registered a new, more meaningful, domain name to access the blog (http://www.wholesomepetsupplynews.com/ ).
The reasons for the move were (1) I wanted full control over my blog as it is a source of income for me, (2) I’ve heard of Google shutting down blogs for unknown reasons and I didn’t want to take a chance on this happening, and (3) WordPress is suppose to be a more commercially friendly blogging software (and it’s free).
Installing WordPress was a breeze (well, compared to what followed), but getting the templates setup the way I wanted was a nightmare. It’s still not 100%, but at least it’s up and running. I purchased the template and it had bugs. I switched to another template and it took me over a week to learn how to configure it and get all the plugins updated. I still want the original template and am working with the provider to get it fixed.
