Woo hoo!! Congrats to you!! I love WordPress. I had a blogger blog for a very short time and started over.
There were a few moments while I was transferring that I wanted to start over. LOL. Lesson in courage!
Congratulations on your successful move! Things are looking great so far. I say, whatever makes you happy is what you should do.
I use Blogger, always have. I don’t see myself changing anytime in the near future. It makes me happy. Maybe someday.
Best wishes as you finish things. Happy Sharefest.
I appreciate that, Miss Robin. Blogger was very user-friendly and just what I needed as a newbie. I don't have anything negative to say about it. I wanted and needed some additional things I could get with WordPress.org. Thank you.
Congratulations Kim! It looks great! I am proud of you for doing this yourself. I started on WordPress so I can only imagine the transferal process! I hope you enjoy! Welcome to self hosted world :0
I have been clapping my hands a lot–every time I learn or see something new that I can do. Thanks, Joi!

Congrats on making the big move! Everything is looking great!
I started my current blog on a self-hosted wordpress. I had done a lot of research, and it always seemed like most people eventually made the switch, so I just went for it right off the bat. Making the switch seemed really intimidating, so I just skipped it. haha So congrats to you for being able to handle it!

I am really enjoying all the new stuff I get to do with WordPress. I don't regret starting with Blogger. It gave me a chance to see both sides.

I've been on WordPress since I started my blog – pretty sure that even with step-by-step instructions I would never be able to transfer my blog – I'm pretty techie challenged.
I like your new look.

Beautiful! Well done on successfully transferring your site 🙂 I really like the new look.
I am using WordPress myself and as I just started blogging about a month ago i dont have any experience of other sites, but so far WordPress is super great for me! I love their easy to use plugins and great support forums.
