Wordpress Q&A thread

I've been using wordpress since the days when it was called "cafelog."

I watched it become the best blogging system around, then I fought with the elephantine size as it expanded, and then I cheered as it became a lean elegant robust framework system and the plugins just exploded in variety and usefulness.

I maintain a Wordpress network at http://mirthfulconfusion.com and via different plugins and theme manipulations, I can create writer's homepages, fiction archives, sales sites, business homepages, artists galleries... Kinda you name it!

I'm not the biggest genius in the camp, but I can probably give anyone advice or suggestions on where to find the right plugin to do what you want to do. And I have questions to ask about wordpress myself!

Stella, I've bookmarked your site and will study it next chance I get.

ive been away from blogs i just noticed about a year and a half...I always thought WordPress was a more elegant interface, but blogger since its a google product I believe (and some experimentation seems to bear out) that all things being equal google is biased towards blogs it hosts...

So I'm working on a project, maybe several...right now just begining the outline and figuring out content, so i'm not nailed down to any of the above, I figure I can always export it...

But before I start ginning up traffic, I wonder if you (or anyone anyone anyone) knows can I get a domain name of my own and have blogger host?

And can I use the wordpress (client?) and have blogger host?

thanks

One thing about wordpress is that you can maintain a number of blogs off of one installation, and manage them from one backend-- and each one can have it's own domain name, or be a subdomain URL. With the newest version, you can create networks of networks.

You can point your domain name to your blogger blog, and blogger will show it that way--

But you can't use the wordpress client on Blogger.com they simply offer you a spot in their database managed by the client that's already in place there.

And yes, it is very easy to import from blogger to wordpress.
