Well, I’ve been on the WordPress platform for a while now, and I’ve posted a few posts. Meanwhile, my old blogspot blog was still up and running, although I’ve imported all that content into the new site.

That’s just another cool feature of WordPress… you’re able to import your content from a different platform with a few clicks! (comments and all)

Also, the theme control and plugin options make it well worth while. (more on that later)

One issue I’m annoyed with is migrating out of blogger… given the permalink structure at blogger and the inability to edit any real code on blogger, migrating out of a non-custom domain blogger blog can be a little difficult when it comes to permalink redirect.

Given the (low) age of my blog and finite following (not to mention the surprising re-indexing speed of Google), I’m already not worrying about it. (site:viiiwonder.blogspot.com is already returning nothing on Google).

Back to those plugins: One I’m particularly excited about is called WP to Twitter, which automatically posts notifications of new blog posts to twitter on my behalf. In addition to that, there’s also Google Analytics for WordPress to provide better analytics, without having to add code to each page. There’s a host of other plugins that can make your site do just about anything you want!

Anyways… it’s going well, and stay tuned for more tech, family updates, and kitchen antics (trying to do my own sourdough…)
