Making the transition to WordPress

For those who live in the “Blogger” ghetto and want to move up to the very best blogging platform on earth, here’s a great instructional video (45 minutes) that covers everything you need to know for setting up a WordPress.com website. Accounts are completely free and—once you’re registered—you can set up as many blogs as you like. After using this version of WordPress for awhile, you may be tempted to move into a self-hosted site, but the learning curve can be quite steep for the technologically challenged user. Power users might resent being limited to three or four dozen templates and the inability to tweak their code, but WordPress.com is an incredible deal for the average blogger.
