I have my blog on Blogger, since 2005 and for the past year just posted 'if and when' because it had been there so long. But this article has helped me decide to move it on it's own doman (never did get around to pointing it to Blogger). New Year and a fresh start. Thanks much:) This article was exactly what I needed.

Some auto-posting mixed with fresh content will help do that I hope. I think using a great new theme will also help 1) sell off the old and 2) generate fresh interest in those I'm choosing to hang on to.

My site has morphed many times and I'm just about to move the current content to a new blog and reinvent the old one. I now think of it as a staging site. Just can't let it go.

However, I am planning to re-brand just a little in terms of the way I write my content and connect to my readers. I've been writing on how to get into great shape but think I have not been making it personal enough, so I plan to weave more of my own experiences and those of my clients in. This is a big shift in direction so I almost considered starting fresh, but you've made me think twice, so thankyou!

If you domain was not taken(first part), get it and import the database back into it. For those that have dead wp blogs(but not a flagship blog), you can use a service that will let you add third party content. Just click on my name of this comment to read about my review.

I didn't know that at first. Someone told me it would be very difficult to export my material to another location that I could monetize, so I thought I'd better hold off on posting until I'm ready to move things. Is this difficulty really true? And can I keep the first part of my domain name (the part before "wordpress.com") if I move the site?
