Thinking of moving

I'm thinking of moving this blog from Blogger to marclloyd.wordpress.com

Any thoughts / tips?

Have you made the switch?

How do you find WordPress.Com?

Wordpress is superior, IMHO. Better dashboard and controls. Looks nicer. Definitely an upgrade. The big question is whether you can be bothered...

I agree, wp.com is better. I haven't tried doing the importing thing, but I think it's not that hard if you wanted to put all your old posts over there too. You'll suffer some loss of traffic initially but it should pick up again reasonably quickly. And wordpress.com has the best support forum I've ever come across on the internet.

There are some negatives: wp.com won't let you install some fun widgets that use javascript or flash. There are inbuilt versions of standard widgets and you can add anything that comes with just standard html. Also, you can't have your own paying ads (WP.com runs its own ads on the blogs, only visible if you're not logged in and not always even then).
