    e-Book Review: “How to Move from Blogger to WordPress”

    By 77 Comments

    ABOUT:

    If you are ready to make the move to WordPress, this is the guide you need! It outlines the exact steps to rewrite your permalinks, retain your back-links for SEO, keep your blog readers, and redirect your domain name. You can even download the first few chapters for FREE!

    MY THOUGHTS:

    I moved myself from Blogger to WordPress just over a year ago and it was scary, exciting, confusing, painful and worth it.  I couldn’t afford having someone do it for me and I figured “How hard could it be?”  I did have a little help as another blogger friend of mine was also doing her site at the same time so I was asking her how to move from Blogger to WordPress questions.  (She is actually the one who encouraged me to make the move so I figured the least she could do is help me answer questions!)

    Now I had no clue about WordPress at all, other than you had to pay for it (unlike Blogger) but it offered more customization and I hadn’t heard anyone say they regret making the move.  I remember though crying (literally) and rushing over to the local bookstore because my site was down, I was missing comments and I didn’t know where to start.  I didn’t want to bug my friend too much so I searched for a book at the bookstore and found nothing helpful, I tweeted and googled for help.   I received so many great responses it was nice to see how helpful everyone was!

    I would have loved to have the book “How to Move from Blogger to WordPress” to help walk me through.  Now even though I have been on WordPress for over a year, I am still by no means an expert and am constantly trying to learn new things for WordPress.

    First off the e-book comes with a Check List, which is a great list to make sure you don’t miss anything!  The book is broken up into chapters and has a total of 96 pages.  I am still amazed at how helpful this book is and really wish I would have had to when I did my move to WordPress.  Even if you are considering switching it is a great book just to check out and see if you understand it all.  There are screenshots, steps to follow and it is an easy to read e-book.  Now some things are different because of the different hosts (I use Hostgator) and different themes you could choose from.  Switching to WordPress is still scary but this book would definitely alleviate some stress and be a great starting point.  Even though I made my switch so long ago I found helpful tips and resources to check out.

      I’m a relatively new blogger and am still on Blogger but if things pick up I’ll probably make the switch.

      I have been thinking about making the move for quite some time. I even have a domain with wordpress installed but keep getting caught up in the design I want before moving over.

      I have a brand new blog on wordpress but my main blog is still on blogger. I would love to move it, but I’m scared to do it myself and can’t afford to have someone else do it.

      I haven’t moved to WP yet, but I plan on it VERY soon. I am tired of Blogger & all the issues that creep up and how unreliable it can be at times. WordPress is much better – I can’t wait to move. This giveaway would be great to win! Thanks for the chance!

      I haven’t made the switch yet even though i want to so badly. I’ve heard the switch does wonders for your blog, for traffic and customization. I haven’t done it yet because i’ve heard it can be tricky and easy to mess up. I would love to win this so i can go into the switch knowing exactly what to do!
