Affiliate Blog Update from Blogger to Wordpress
September 13th, 2007 by admin
Welcome to the new look JohnOBrien.com affiliate marketing blog, I have just changed the platform used for creating the blog over from the old blogger to wordpress as it looks much better, has a great range of extra features such as themes & plugins and will allow me to customise the site more easily.
I have managed to import the old blogger posts across into wordpress.org without to much trouble but will have to code all banners and affiliate links again. I will also have to add 301 redirects on all the old blog post urls as these are now incorrect and are still indexed in the search engines.
Expect big improvements to this affiliate blog in the up and coming months.

Hiya,
I’m thinking of moving my blog over to Wordpress as Blogger just doesn’t cut the mustard when it comes to duplication or useful tools.
It’s a bit worrying that Google doesn’t provide anti dupe tools with their own Blogger product, so I’m looking at moving over.
If you’ve got any pointers, I’d be most appreciative.
Regards,
Lee

Lee,
Wordpress has an import option for moving across old blogs with blogger and others supported, but it has to be one of the new blogger blogs.
I had to change my blogger template first before I could import to wordpress and you lose all the extra code you have added to your site when you change your blogger template so backup first to add the extras later.
Hope this helps, John OBrien

[…] maybe its because I ditched google’s blogger.com platform on johnobrien.com last month for their competitor the much better wordpress? […]
