If you are reading this, chances are you have a blog hosted on Blogger, and you are wondering just what it takes to move to WordPress. A Google Search will yield plenty of guides and tips on how to make it happen – but if you haven’t done it before it can be a hugely daunting task. There is a long list of “to-do’s” that come with moving your entire website — particularly to a hosted solution, and even more so if you have a strong reader base and well-established SEO and Page Rank. Odds are your links are scattered all over the web, and the thought that everything may get broken in the process makes you want to vomit.
At least, that’s how I felt.
There are two easy ways to handle that vomitous feeling. A) Stay at Blogger and suck it up or B) Hire someone like me to handle it all for you. There are a lot of moving parts, and the bottom line is that it’s tough and time consuming to do it yourself.
It’s worth the cost to keep the transition as smooth as possible. Plus, you’ll probably save yourself an emergency room co-payment!
