When I started blogging I used Blogger.com because it was the easiest way to start a blog. I quickly added several blogs and  converted existing sites to blogger. This was a simple process because blogger supported FTP publishing. This allowed me to use blogger, but have the pages on my own domain. I did this with this blog, Jt30.com, Harpamps.com, Too Many Damn Cats, and Bee Progress. I have since been slowly converting these to wordpress sites.

Wordpress gave me much greater control over the site and all of the pages. It also allowed me to optimize the sites for search engines and I am now getting twice the number of hits in some places.

A few of my blogs still need to be converted. This is now important because Blogger has stopped support of FTP publishing. If I want to post to a blog and have it appear on my domain I must either convert to Wordpress or other content management software or point my site to blogger. If I point my site to blogger I lose all of my ability to create and publish pages separate from the blog.

I start today converting Harpamps to Wordpress. This is a large site with several hundred pages of amplifier information, and will take a month to convert. I will also have to convert all of JT30.com. I started with jt30.com, but never finished. Lots of work to do.
