Build A Blog You Can Be Proud Of.I’m so excited to be making two announcements today! First, Blogelina is hosting our first-ever Twitter Party this month – and you’re invited! We’ve got a lot of great prizes and a lot of fun lined up for Thursday, May 26th, from 9-10pm EST – which brings me to my second announcement:
I am honored to be featuring, as my co-host for the Twitter Party, Sharon Hujik, author of How to Move From Blogger to WordPress: The Comprehensive Guide!
Experts agree that a move to WordPress is an essential part of creating a successful blog. Making the Blogger to WordPress switch can be an intimidating one, though, which is why Sharon wrote her amazing book, outlining all the steps in the process. She’s done a great job of taking all the guesswork out of the move – and she’s written all the steps down in an easy-to-understand way!
Plan to join us Thursday, May 26th, 9-10pm EST, and have your questions about the Blogger to WordPress Transfer answered by an expert!
Prizes We’re Giving Away

I would kill to win this. I am desperate to move to wordpress but can’t afford the fees to pay someone to move it for me since I don’t know how to do it myself. Thanks for the chance to make this a reality for me.
Hi Tanya, I posted about the twitter party on my blog: It’s a Party – A Blogger 2 WordPress Twitter Party. I also tweeted about it and added it to my FB page. I can’t wait to join the party, it’s so exciting! See you there.

I’m super excited about this twitter party! I would LOVE to win a blog makeover and learn a thing or ten along the way!
Sounds like a great party! I just got my blog up and running during the mess last week with Blogger….yikes. I’m very interested in learning more about blogging and how to be taken seriously along with confirming Blogger is the best place for me right now or moving to WP if needed.
Questions for possible inclusion:
1. Do companies REALLY take wordpress bloggers more seriously or does it matter as long as you have your domain?
2. Do you lose TONS of readers, subscribers and backlinks when you purchase your own domain?
3. If I go from free blogger blog with own domain name to self hosted wordpress on same domain later on, will I lose pagerank and Alexa score again or no?
Great questions, Callista – thanks for commenting! I will be sure to pass these along to Sharon for the party…
Love this idea! I sit around at home most of the time any way so I’m definitely on board!

Question:
It seems like all I hear about lately is how to switch to WordPress… WHY do I want to switch to wordpress? How much better is it? How much does it cost a year to have your own domain with wordpress?
Nicole @ Some Call It Natural recently posted..Oil in my Lamp
I have so many questions. I have no idea where to start. LOL
I am so curious (and always have) what it looks like in the design area of WP. Meaning the area that you write your posts and how you add content to your sidebars. Blogger seems so easy. I am curious what WP looks like behind the scenes.
See you Thursday

thanks so much for hosting this party. can’t wait.
Excited, this is my first party!
Oops, glad I came back and re-read this post- I linked up my blog by mistake the first time. I’m now linked up with my twitter account and hope the kids cooperate later. ;p
Looking forward to following and learning!
I am new to this…I also RSVP’d on another site…but hopefully it still counts that I just did it on here.
Hi! Wanting more WP info and attending!
How much does it cost a year to have your own domain with wordpress? I am so curious (and always have) what it looks like in the design area of WP. What an awesome twitter party & giveaway! Love this idea!

Marci, you’ll need to have hosting that supports WordPress – at GoDaddy, this runs about $7 a month.
