With previous experience of hosted websites (dating back to 2001), I didn’t want the overhead of maintaining code (eg. the full version of WordPress) for Arkhitekton so I could focus on the content. That’s why I chose WordPress.com this time.

The redirection (20¢ a week) is seamless and fully conceals the *.wordpress.com URL, as you no doubt noticed when arriving here…

I wondered why when I did a temporary switch to Blogspot it didn’t work – my template was customised (and published via FTP). So the WordPress.com import from “old” Blogger works. I’ll give it a try.

Then I imported all the posts from blogger, redesigned everything, and then switched my domain over to wordpress by changing the nameservers. the theme is standard, so I only paid for domain mapping…! thanks for the comment…

Still manually moving posts from “old” Blogger as WordPress.com only imports from “new” Blogger. Hopefully others might find my tips useful before they map their domain.

Glad to see it went well.
