Facelift
Posted by Rajesh on April 25, 2006
It has been 2 week effort to move from blogger to WordPress. The tougher part was to deploy wordpress on my webserver and then import my existing blogs from blogger to the new setup. With the help of tutorials and some help from googling, I was able to complete this. Also I was able to spend some time installing plugins and customizing the theme to this.
I did involve working with little bit of PHP and lot of CSS.
The plugins I installed are -
Inline AJAX Comments by Kashou [ Customized CSS colors to suite the theme ]
dc* theme 0.5 by Jon Roobottom. [ Customized a lot, changed colors, removed background images ].
There are many features provided by WordPress, that are not in blogger. But the one I will be using the most is the “Categories”. I posted about categorizing blogs using del.icio.us and blogger sometime back. But now, with the categories feature built in to WordPress, I do not need to tag my posts any more to categorize them.
There is lot more control in WordPress as it is deployed on my server. Refer to the features list of WordPress for details.
