I would so love to switch my blogger blog to WordPress. (I use WordPress for my other blog, and really. No comparison.)

But how can I do it elegantly: without losing subscribers or link juice?

There’s the rub!

Yeah, I noticed that too with blogger. I don’t like it, but than again I am not a fan of blogger blog to begin with…

Yes, this is really annoying. I have a non-Blogger blog myself. Fortunately I have a Blogger account from back when ‘Blog About Your Blog’ was on Blogger and I used to contribute to that. The difficult bit was remembering how to log on. (I don’t think you *need* a Blogger blog to have a blogger/Google account, do you?) So if you look at my Blogger profile, I’ve included a note to say ‘click on web site’ to see my blog. This means I’m accessible but it’s an extra click of the mouse. The other possibility is just to add my blog URL at the foot of the comment (as someone suggests above) though that’s a little spammy.

I wrote my own system that combines the flexibility of a CMS with the simplicity of a blog. I use it for three of my own sites plus several others. WordPress is not the only alternative.

Blogging is becoming non. Don’t know if it ever was authoritative.

Maybe bloggers are just fooling themselves. Nevertheless, electronic media will crush the staid mainstream media most of us grew up with.

Network news and newspapers are becoming a joke. I look forward to their demise over the next decade or so.

They really are not authoritative either. Maybe they were fooling themselves of their importance to society.

Yeah I agree with you on this. It is one of the reasons that I moved from Blogger to wordpress. Much more flexibility with comments–although my wordpress blog could still use more comments .
