Please click here for the new yours2share blog This has all the old posts and will be the blog I use from now on.

I’ve begun to promote the blog on feedburner etc and realised that I should have created a self hosted wordpress blog (wordpress.org) rather than the wordpress.com variety. Like many people I thought I’d try it out first, but now my general advice to anyone thinking of setting up a wordpress blog is go for the self hosted option, particularly if like me, you are already running a website and have webpace available. There are so many things that only really work on the self hosted version such as StatCounter and Share This

Fortunately migrating from wordpress.com to selfhosted wordpress is quite easy. You can export all your posts and comments out and import them into the new blog.  But I still had to edit my accounts with Feedburner, Technorati, Zimbio and few other places.  As I hadn’t been going that long it wasn’t too bad, but having realised my mistake I decided it was better to move as soon as possible.
