Some of you may not agree. But I’m sure a lot would. Career Mom Online will be migrating to WordPress anytime soon. A two-year hosting plan with HostGator has already been purchased.
As I purchased the plan on HostGator’s birthday, October 22, guess what, I got 40% off on the hosting package! After which, I went through some sort of a verification process, sent them a copy of my government-issued ID just so they’re convinced I’m not a talking, walking, writing mommy robot.
The only thing that’s left to do now is the actual migration. I’ve been told by blogger friends that it shouldn’t be that complicated as long as I read every possible post I can get my hands on before making the actual switch. I have already bookmarked a few sites.
Well, I’m hoping for the best. I’m sure I’d be able to pull this off as long as I follow the instructions to the letter. But if push comes to shove, I just might employ the services of another friend who does Blogger to WordPress migration for a minimal fee.
Then again, if you ask me, I hope to be able to do it on my own just so I can blog about it. I’m hoping to make progress over the weekend. At this point, since I’m too busy with my day job (which is not really a day job because I work the night shift), all I can do is keep my fingers crossed. But whatever happens, good or bad, I’ll make sure to let you all know.
Until then, enjoy the rest of your week!

Hmmm. Pansin ko po lagi lumilipat mga Blogger sa WordPress. Mukhang mas ok nga ang WordPress kasi mas marami siyang features. Kaso dito sa Pilipinas, laging Problem Loading Page ang unang lumalabas kapag na-visit ako sa mga WordPress powered sites. Nasa manila naman ako, at malakas internet connection ko, pero laging ganun. Kagaya po ngayon. First time ko po mag-visit sa blog niyo, Problem Loading Page ang unang lumabas. Kaya parang ayoko sa WordPress kasi mabagal.

Hi, Monmon. Oo nga, that can happen. I think it’s really not WordPress but with the host provider na rin. Tama ka, OK din naman talaga ang Blogger, lalo na if you know how to tweak CSS settings and that stuff. If you’re to switch, I suggest pag-isipan mong mabuti dahil maraming puwedeng mangyari. And if you really want to switch, I suggest to do it early.
Salamat sa pagbisita at sa iyong komento. I visited your blog. So that’s fairly new, ano? Wala ka pa yatang post doon?

Ay opo wala pa yun laman. Aayusin ko pa po kasi web layout nun at wala pa po akong naiisip kung anong niche. Hehe. Hindi nga po ako maalam ng CSS eh. Nagbabasa pa lang ako ng tutorials.

Maigi nga ‘yan na magbasa-basa ka muna. Mahirap kasi ‘yong mag-uumpisa tapos papalitan din in the end. Good luck sa ‘yo!
