The Masterplan: Wonderful Wordpress - Or how to leave edublogs…

    Hi Dan,

    Glad it's gone well! Self-hosting is great as it gives you a lot more flexibility. Don't worry about my transferring web hosts - I'm actually transferring dougbelshaw.com *back* to Bluehost!

    I wish you'd let me know that you were going to use Bluehost - I could have got $65 for referring you... ;-)

    That's good news, sorry about the referral, oh well, if anyone out there is thinking of following our lead then let Doug or me know, we'll take it in turn with referrals! ;)

    Oh, and Dan. I would go to Wordpress settings and change your posts to have permalinks relating to the title of the post. It helps with search engine optimisation!

    Sorted, thanks Doug, finally got my own gravatar to show aswell.
    Next stop - full rss feeds, not sure why it's shortening them at the moment...
  • Doug Belshaw · 11 months ago
    Good good! I'd recommend running your RSS feeds through the Google-owned Feedburner. They've got a Wordpress plugin to make life easy. :-)

    It is running through Feedburner, and it's set to full feed in the wordpress options, it's got me a bit mystified at the moment...

    My classroom blog is with edublogs, but my personal blog is with wordpress.org. Thank you for explaining how I can move my classblog to wordpress.

    If you've already got things running on wordpress.org then the export/import process couldn't be simpler. It's a shame, but those ads just aren't appropriate for classroom/pupil blogs.
