Moved the SCUBA blog from Blogger to my own URL

October 4th, 2007   Filed Under Uncategorized  

I moved my blog from Blogger to my own URL with WordPress as my blogging tool. My reasons for this are:

- Ownership and control of my content - my domain = my content

- More control over the blog interface. Blogger is limits and WordPress is rich with plug-ins and administrative control

- Google doesn’t index Blogger entries

- Ability to have more control over potential future Adsense and other marketing

- I want to start working on page rankings for this URL as a potential future site for a team blogging initiative on SCUBA

I had trouble importing the Blogger posts to here. The delivered import tool with Wordpress didn’t work, so I created a hosted wordpress blog (wordpress.com), imported the Blogger entries (it worked there) , then exported them to a file and imported here. Then I deleted the hosted blog.
