It looks like I was able to move my ftp blog that was on blogger and destined to shut down come the first of May to Word Press. IT was much easier than I would have thought, but I made more work for myself in that I moved my entire site from USA Hosting to Host Gator.

Why? I don’t know actually. USA hosting was quite a good hosting company, but we did buy a reseller account and hope to host all of our sites under this account. This action was prompted by the fact that we have yet another website digitalsculpting.net that will be going live very shortly. And hubby suggested if I was moving I should move the site first and then go ahead and set up Word Press.

There is still some formatting to do, but I am thrilled that it is here and up.

HOW DID I DO IT?

Here is a hint. Word press import tool will not work with an ftp site. So I first changed my Blogger Ftp site to a regular blogger page and everything has uploaded perfectly. OF course the formatting of the page looks like a wordpress blog, but we will add the http://www.creativesculpture.com web header shortly. Now on to redirecting the DNS to point to the new server.

” Things will break you will lose stuff…” This is waht my husband said to me as I told him about having to move my blog and he suggested moving the entire creativesculpture.com website to another server. Not the most comforting thought. But here I go.

This blog will be moving to another server as Blogger no longer will host ftp blogs. Therefore there may be a minor interruption in the processing and reading of this blog.

The website http://www.creativesculpture.com may also have some interruption as we may be moving that site to another server as well. If all goes well, and I am not pulling my hair out with frustration this should all be done by the first of May.

Thanks for your patience.
