I&#39;m glad I did, but it was a lot of work at the time! It really helps to find the right information, that spells things out and makes it simple. Glad it worked out for you!jank1961https://www.blogger.com/profile/02300333186503144220[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415011426365191230.post-36463640390417717372015-03-06T02:26:49.458-05:002015-03-06T02:26:49.458-05:00thanks for this post, I hope it encourages my momma to chase the wp behind my name away too :o)<br />easy ridereasyweimaranerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377003995063754713[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415011426365191230.post-14689803038282125682015-03-05T23:50:48.738-05:002015-03-05T23:50:48.738-05:00Congrats on the name change and dropping the blogspot! I dropped it last year. I&#39;d put it off for ages, and you&#39;re right - it was easeir than I thought it would be. Only issue I had was that something went wonky and folks couldn&#39;t get to my site if they typed it in without the www. Wasted a bunch of time trying to fix it myself. Finally broke down and called GoDaddy and they helped me fix it in nuthin&#39; flat. (It was something weird that I never could have fixed on my own!)

I had heard it could be miserable to switch to self-hosted so I did it from the start.

My cat&#39;s blog is on blogger and in 2013 I purchased a new link through Godaddy. I went from a page ranking of FIVE (which is fabulous).......down to ZERO. I STILL have no page ranking and will have the link 2 years this fall. Hopefully the same won&#39;t happen with you, it did with me and all of that building for years prior to purchasing the link was shot to hell.Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415011426365191230.post-49115771251916607372015-03-05T07:53:07.382-05:002015-03-05T07:53:07.382-05:00I did notice the new name when I stopped by last time but I thought I had it wrong...lol. I like the new name very much and am glad switching over was so easy. When I started out, I did the same thing and I remember it was not all that hard but I wish I had had a nice post to guide me because I ran into a couple small snags. :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for joining the hop!2browndawgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792375606466389228[email protected]
