Contemplating a Change
29th November 2004
I am thinking of switching from BlogSpot. What do you guys suggest? I am thinking perhaps I need to get a TypePad account, because I don’t have my own server. I am also thinking of getting my own domain.
I do have questions and hope someone can answer some of them:
(1) Are there any good reasons to stay with BlogSpot (new kickass version(s) about to be released>
(2) Can I transfer all my posts over without losing anything?
(3) I have a Haloscan account, can I easily transfer my comments and keep it in the archives of TypePad?
(4) I have checked out TypePad, WordPress and MovableType. It appears that TypePad is better than WordPress. What are your experiences one way or another? MovableType seems to be for more advanced folks with lots more knowledge and skills than I. I am still a novice with html and coding etc, so TypePad would probably be better for me, what do you guys think?
Any advice vis-a-vis moving from one provider to another? How about transitioning etc. Should I keep both sites up for a while with pointers from one to another and mirror all the stuff until I am positive the new site is up and ready?
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
