Technorati actually ignored my blog when it was hosted by blogger. The only thing I really lost was Google pagerank. I'm kind of indifferent to it, though. I mean I've spent a lot of time tweaking things but really you're at the mercy of search engines unless you're aggressively targeting keywords (I'm not). If it goes up, great. If not, oh well. And, yeah only a few people updated their links. Again, not a big deal. I could have tried contacting the others but following Nathan's advice in the post should fix everything. Now, if only I followed his advice. I've got to take that off my to-do list! One thing I did do though was thank everyone who re-linked to my new domain by social bookmarking their blog like a madman – finding some of their best posts and stumbling them or reddit-ing them, that sort of thing. It's always nice to give a little something back when you can. I use dreamhost. Check the post for a Promo Code. Some downtime, sure (I think an hour in total over two months) but they have excellent support. Great for bloggers. When you get really big you can move up to a more expensive dedicated host. ;) Good luck switching! Hi Pearl, welcome to Upper Fort Stewart and thanks for commenting.

I've added you to my Technorati favs, and I'm already a member of your MyBlogLog community. You're right, the commenting is sooo much easier. It's a big plus for WP. I'm going to look into creating my own theme so thanks for mentioning Sandbox. I'll check it out. Nice work switching.
