I'm currently with Blogger but have been thinking of making the switch to my own hosting. I too have Dreamhost as my hosting and domain company for other sites but not yet for my blog. I wanted to switch before I really settle into attempting to draw traffic to my site, etc.However, what will I lose when I switch? Will I lose the people who subscribe to my feed? Will I lose my links, etc? I'm assuming you think it is still worth moving even though things may be lost, better now than later? Thanks for the help. Thank you for this post.

That time my version was Wordpress 2.0.2. I failed to upgrade to Wordpress 2.0.3 which was released soon after I started on Wordpress (you can say this wordpress newbie was scared to upgrade).

I agree with Captain Hops though, users should probably start off with their own hosted blogs instead of Blogger because some rankings and PR can end up lost. That was actually a concern for Lynn Terry and because of it she decided to <a href="http://www.clicknewz.com/15/blogger-to-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">leave her Blogger blog intact and start fresh with her WordPress blog</a>. Thanks for sharing your experiences and getting others motivated to move to their own hosted blog solutions. Hopefully, your blogging with WordPress only continues to get better. :) ~ Teli I’m a little late to this party, but I’ve been noticing quite a few people moving from Blogger to WordPress and I’m glad to hear, in each case, the move wasn’t that difficult.
