I have think for a while before I come to this decision, that is to
transfer my blog from Blogger platform to Wordpress platfrom. I am glad that finally I've decided to switch to wordpress (about 5 months blogging on Blogger). Soon, it will be the time to kiss goodbye to Blogger!
So talking about wordpress, I am learning it now... slowly. A little challenging for me! Oh yes, a lot of new information for me to swallow. And about the domain name and web hosting, I already bought my domain name, not steveyu.com or steveyu85.com because someone has bought the domain name before me! So I get another domain name. On the second thought, I think I have made a mistake in getting the domain name first, I should have bought the web hosting plus the domain name together in the same package. Okay, I've learned from my mistake.
Which web hosting to choose?This issue is currently playing on my mind, which web hosting should I get? (or
which web hosting company offered the best web hosting package but at a much lower price? I am short of money, that's why I used Blogger in the first place) On my preferred list now is dreamhost. But I am willing to hear any better recommendations from you.
Wordpress plugins? Help me pick!Picking the right plugins for my wordpress blog is making me headache. So I am interested to learn what plugins that you installed on your blog.
Who have transferred from blogger to wordpress before?If there anyone who have the experience of transferring their blog from blogger to wordpress? Is there any issues occurred or difficulties during the transfer?
If everything goes on smoothly, my blog will have a new home by next month (hopefully).

I have covered about
BlogBackupOnline some time ago. Well, BlogBackupOnline is not the only blog backup service available online. It has a friend, named
BlogBackupr. Basically, these two blog backup services are quite similar. So you may want to choose only one blog backup service to do the backup.
Here is several items to take note about BlogBackupr.
- BlogBackupr works for all blogs that have a RSS-feed (Blogger and Wordpress's blog are included)
- The backup will include all posts, comments and categories
- Doesn't backup media files e.g. images and blog template. (This service may available in the future.)
- Will automatically performs a daily incremental backup
- You can export your blog to desktop in XML, HTML or TXT format.
- Support automatic restore to your Blogger or Wordpress blog.
The DashboardThe features offer by both BlogBackupOnline and BlogBackupr are similar except that BlogBackupOnline supports media files backup while the other doesn't. So that's what differentiate both services. So,
I go for BlogBackupOnline.
And you?
