I'm Such A Loser

Image by Chesi - Fotos CC via FlickrToday's post is totally off-topic. I'm just thinking and deliberating whether I should migrate this blog over to the Wordpress platform.

Ok, reasons for moving to Wordpress:

1. "In-thing"
2. Supposedly more feature-packed than Blogger.
3. So I that I can have almost equal experience in both platforms

Obstacles:

1. All internal links have to be changed. That is hard work hunting down all the posts from Blogger and changing the links manually
2. Google (and other search engines) will have to re-index my posts on the new platform, with different links
3. Can they even do that if the domain name is exactly the same?
4. I'd lose all the comments on the posts in here
   

Yes, to you, the reader, there'll be totally no change in the URL. Even if you're subscribed to my RSS feeds, there'll be no change there too as far as you're concerned. Everything will be "transparent". The major thing that's stopping me from completely migrating over is the loss of the comments.

Yes I know Wordpress can "import" almost everything from Blogger. Problem is, apparently it doesn't work when I do it. Yeah I've tried importing from various different hosts that I'm trying Wordpress on, but Google just errors out even if I give full authorization for the import.

Ah well.

I actually wanted to just change the blogskin (or "template") but that would mean this blog will be behaving weirdly in the time I am doing this up with a new skin.

So now the question remains - should I, or shouldn't I?
