Well I was quite pleased to find out that I could easily import all of my blogposts from blogspot with the comments. There is a little import tab in the administrative interface and it just works.
One of the reasons I was considering the switch over to a self hosted wordpress blog was so that I could actually respond to comments by some means other than just commenting (which as far as I could tell could not be subscribed to so you’d have to check back to see if I replied.)
Another reason was to try and come up with a way to sort my content a bit more by topic/category and allow users to just follow one thread or another if they prefer. I tend to dabble in a broad range of things and while it’s fine if you want to peek in on all of them I’d love to give people an easy way to follow just stories, just social media, just virtual worlds etc. We’ll see if my wordpress theme configuring skills are up to the task.
Now to fix up categories & tags and get various useful widgets like blogrolls and the like back where they belong.
