Hello!
As some may know I am with blogger and have my own domain name from Godaddy and am doing OK. I just feel that after looking at Wordpress it looks like it will suite my needs better than my current set-up.
I downloaded WP and Filezilla the other day to get the ball rolling on moving my blog from blogger to WP. I also signed up with dreamhost and they gave me a free domain, although you pay for it and get the money back two weeks later. Which sucks for me because they cancelled my account because my domain name was flagged; it had a copywritten name in it...
Although they refunded me, as I am in the UK I got a fee applied to my bank account in the UK, only 1.50 and another for 19pence but still better in my pocket than my banks, so yes dreamhost will refund me but probably not that charge, it's a currency conversion charge or something. Anyway, I thought initially that the move would be smooth and easy. I remember it was easy with blogger, sign up free and start building your content. Also, you can add a domain name which I did. I am aware you can do that with wordpress too but it would be hosted by WP...I think so no real improvement if I were to do that, to my current situation.
I will have to sign up with Godaddy i think for my hosting, then try and set up Worpress. I watched some YT Instructional videos to help me but still am not 100% sure of what to do. It seems you have to add your details provided by your host to your filezilla log in and then upload your files to their server or something. I really want to get this move sorted but will wait a short while until I have sorted a host.
Thanks for your time.
