I guess I was asking for trouble running programs that were originaly written for Unix platform on a Windows server, but I learned my lesson and I’m moving on.

I ran a few tests and everything seems to be working fine, even if you type an old url from my Blogger site you’ll get redirected to the corresponding page in the Wordpress blog.

Please let me know if you notice anything strange with the website, broken links or any other errors.

Right now, the only change from the old blog is the platform it runs on and the graphic design which I tried to keep simple and clean – there are no distractions, content is king and that’s why you’re here in the first place.

While the Blogger platform is interesting as a startup blog publishing environment, it will soon reveal its limitations to anyone wanting to expand from a simple blog to something more.

And this is where WordPress will win, it is designed as a modular platform that enables you to add plugins to extend its features. With 5787 plugins and 877 themes to choose from, I’m pretty sure that it will cover any feature I may think of.

Drop me a line in the comments section and let me know what you think of the redesign.
