It makes all the effort making the tutorial worth it.<br/><br/>I agree with you staying on Blogger. As long as it is working well for you Blogger is more than capable for a personal blog. I would only recommend moving to Wordpress if you want a professional blog site. Even then it's still a toss-up.<br/><br/>Just focus on writing now and enjoy being the master of your own domain destiny.<br/><br/>Cheers and welcome to the Blokester Network!

I agree with you staying on Blogger. As long as it is working well for you Blogger is more than capable for a personal blog. I would only recommend moving to WordPress if you want a professional blog site. Even then it’s still a toss-up.

Just focus on writing now and enjoy being the master of your own domain destiny.

Cheers and welcome to the Blokester Network!

I'm so glad the timing was just right. Fantastic. Post back here if you have trouble. I may be posting a separate entry about what to do about your Feedburner feeds. You'll need to create a new one for the new domain. You won't lose any existing feed readers, but you'll want to create a new feed URL to go with your RSS button (if you have one) on your blog home page. Maureen — What a stroke of luck!

I went ahead and got my domain names (I wanted BOTH idratherbeblogging.com and ratherbeblogging.com). Actually, I checked a few times for these, and the last time I checked in August, they were taken. Lucky for me I have you as an online friend to remind me to check again.... Presto! I got them today!!! So now I'm just waiting the 24 hours to finish up the transfer... fingers crossed I followed the tutorial right.<br/><br/>Thanks so much for this great post; you've really helped me finally get my .com!

I'm taking one step at a time. I've considered the pros and cons of Blogger vs. another platform, but don't have a compelling reason to leave at this point. It's worked well for me thus far and I don't like messing with a good thing before educating myself, and that takes time I'd rather devote to writing.<br/><br/>Thank you for the compliment and for your input! @ DayJobNuker — Yes, I’ve considered getting rid of the NavBar.
