I’m Happy That I Can Say now ” Mission Accomplished ” . I’ve successfully Moved my Blog From Blogger to WordPress .
I’ve been working in the past few days on a simple WordPress Template to Move From Blogger to a self-hosted WordPress Blog . And I’ve decided to build it the new way & Not the old way .. So What’s the New Way ?
I really enjoyed Trying the New WordPress 3 that contains some lovely new features –You Can Find More About it in (Arabic) or (English) — . And I made up my mind to use it and create a new template built with HTML5 & CSS3 .
It’s a good experience to try using the new elements of HTML5 and ignore how it will look like in IE6 ( Sorry IE6 Users But You have to Upgrade Your Browser ) . You may think It’s easy when you see the new elements but when you try using them It will be different & You may take sometime to get used to them .
You can Fine Many Resources Online about How to use HTML5 to create an Interface for your website or blog . HTML5 is already working Fine on Firefox, Chrome & Safari I think ? I can’t use Safari on my Inspiron & Don’t know why !
Another Issue I had to solve was moving the comments From IntenseDebate Which I used as the comments system on Blogger Blog & Wanted to switch to Disqus . It took me sometime to edit the xml exported file and then importing comments back on Disqus .
I believe there still some issues regarding changing the DNS but It takes too long to be working everywhere . I get some errors from services like Feedburner (Bad hostname) UGH!
