Moving to WordPress

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

Hindsight is such a wonderful thing!  When I moved from my old blog at vbCity – The Insane Rambling of Wonko the Sane – I was still a blogging newbie and not the blog-addicted gobshite that I am now.  With the benefit of hindsight I wouldn’t have chosen Blogger as a blogging platform for Wonko’s World.  Don’t get me wrong, Blogger is a good blogging platform with an easily customisable template but it lacks features and it isn’t feasible to republish the entire blog (especially one the size of mine) every time you change the template.

It’s possible to hack Blogger about to add most of the features of WordPress but I’m fed up of hacking and fiddling with Blogger to make it do what I want.  With this in mind, I am ditching Blogger and moving to WordPress.  I can’t get the import tool to import from Blogger so for the time being I will post to both blogs at the same time.
