But, I'm not totally lost in the tech world, and I've made my share of stupid mistakes, and have experienced shortcomings more than a few times. So, to be on the safe side, I'd find a tech-savvy allie. Or start out small in a safe environment where you won't destroy anything that you've worked hard to build.

Yes in fact I did. Before the main page wasn't even ranked (I'm only talking about Google which is the only search engine I bother to concern myself with). Now it's starting to be ranked. It's not much yet, but I'm pretty satisfied considering the rather slow rate I'm posting at, and since I'm also doing very little to see my posts... I suspect that maybe the CNAME setup I had with Blogger make things a little too confusing for Google. Hi Amílcar.

Now, with your experience, do you think that wordpress is much better than blogger regarding SEO/SERP, or the difference is not big? Thanks. Hi,

In terms of SEO/SERP, did you notice a improvement on your posts ranking? Now, with your experience, do you think that wordpress is much better than blogger regarding SEO/SERP, or the difference is not big?

Thanks.

I'd love to learn from your writing style, but the link to your website doesn't take me anywhere. I couldn't agree more that long posts most of the time is a mistake, and of that I'm guilty on more than one occasion. That's the beauty of blogs; you don't have to read them. But I would say that an even bigger mistake is passing judgment on a shallow basis. I've written another long post related to that here: http://ferrogate.com/2009/05/quantity-vs-quality-does-the-web-stupify-our-culture.html I'd like to hear your comments on that as well, and I would very much like to read your blog.

It gives me the impression you were assigned to write a 3,500-word report or some such nonsense. (I recommend Dave Barry-style btw.) Naturally, I didn't sit here and read it all.

I was lucky and went for the Linux GoDaddy option, and it worked a treat. My migration was WordPress.com -> WordPress.org, which was of course easier than Blogger. The story here: http://jonontech.com/2009/03/30/goodbye-wordpresscom-hello-freedom/ We've also got a nice overlap on the plugins. I can recommend the MyBrand feature of FeedBurner if you like your own domain for the FeedURL. Can also strongly recommend Mofuse.Mobi.
