roarweb moved to WordPress
After struggeling to make Blogger do what I wanted to do with my Blog I gave up!
Blogger just does not cut it when it comes to hosting a business blog. WordPress demanded a bit more setup - and I needed my own host (which I already had) - but it now gives me access to features I did not get with Blogger. For example, categories was one of the features I was longing for!
On Monday November 28th I posted live from a seminar to my Blogger account and then used FTP to upload to my own domain. I also made a similar post to a test I was doing on the hosted version of WordPress . In checking - two days later - my Blogger entry had not been listed on Technorati, but my WordPress.com (hosted) had. It was really scary. End of Blogger for me.
It took me a week or so to move. I wanted to move my Blogger posts with me. There are scripts, but I could not get them to work properly. And having only 40 posts or so I thought I would just copy them manually. I also decided to leave the Blogger posts in my directory, so I made a change in the HTML showing only one link from each post - back to my new WordPress PHP driven homepage.
I’m sure there will be other updates I will want to do, but at least all my posts are now migrated and my FeedBurner links are implemented.

I’ve had some issues after moving to WordPress. Probably because of my host. My links to archives generates a 403 error since these directories does not have an index page.
Tonight I’ve also installed the sxore alpha test. We’ll see how that works out.
