Hi everybody,it’s Raman here.
I am part-time blogger.(and a full-time medical student).Well I started blogging one year back with Google’s Blogger.After making some good money from my Blogger blogs I thought hosting my blog on my own domain.
Thogh Blogger provides you the option of having your own domain I preferred host it on private server rather and installed a WordPress Blog.
It’s for the first time that I am hosting a wordpress blog and was quiet worried about it installation procedure.But everything happened smoothly.After uploading the wordpress to my server the later process took less than 3 minutes and my blog was ready.
The Webmaster’s Blog is my effort to share the experiences that I had while blogging and website monetization and seo and so on…… with you guys and also learn about your experiences.I know how difficult it’s for a new webmaster to start earning from your blog/site.So here I want to help them to earn better from internet in general and websites in particular.
Tha’s it with my first post.
All the best with your blog
hi hello…how r you? i would you to visit on my website…
http://worklife-for-money.blogspot.com/
here just leave your comment or concern and suggestion..ok thank you very much! ok God Bless…Please visit in my website too.. i hope we help to each other..
Congratulations on making the change over to wordpress, I am sure you will get the hang of it soon!
One thing I inmediately notice is that you haven´t updated your permalink structure and I would recommend you do that asap
At present your posts are showing up as /?p= … instead of taking advantage of putting keywords in your titles, have a quick look at your wordpress admin panel, “settings” -> permalinks and set it to your customer settings so that your posts will show up as /title-of-the-post instead of the default setting you are using now.
If you need any help, just let me know!
oops, forgot to mention, if you change it around now, you might have to update the posts you already made, since it would change the url settings but since you only have 2 posts I am sure it isn´t that big a problem
Hey Mirjam,thanks for checking out my blog.Also thanks for your suggestions for permalink structure,I knew it and also how it helps in getting good SERP,….but I am using WordPress 2.6 ….and there is some bug in it’s permalink function,whenever I use custom pernalinks structure,it gives 404 error,and when use default one i.e “/?p=” then only my blog is visible…..looking desperately for it’s fix,but haven’t got it…..also the forums have been of no help
Anyways nice to have you here.
hey there
I am using 2.6 as well without having any problems with the permalink structure. Did you try the permalink structure change before posting or after you already made a few posts? If you are referring to 404 messages because you changed the permalink structure after already having posted a few articles, you might want to check out the following link:
http://scrapur.com/index/wordpress/steps-before-changing-permalink-in-wordpress/
they write about a few plugins you can install before changing the permalink structure, without having the 404 page not found problem
good luck!
I checked it’s a bug with wp 2.6 version,they did provide some temporary solutions but none worked for me
Nice blog.. all the best for your blog and you!!
hey thanks
+1. Who more?
I think you are doing well here, just need to increase your posting frequency.

congrats!
I am here at a forum newcomer. Until I read and deal with the forum.
Let’s learn!
Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
Thanks all for the help
thanks sir your solution really helped me
Hello! i want to buy a custom domain, But I don’t know where to buy. I know more about blogging in Blogger and nothing about WordPress. I want to take a domain in WordPress because I like some themes and so many bloggers are choosing WordPress. So what to do??? Anyone please help me!!!!!!
You can choose godaddy or hostgater
I don’t know how to use these both!
ok….I would suggest Name.com ,most simple registrar I must say….just visit their site, choose domain, enter your details and make payment…and you can your own domain name.
ok, fine.. but what about the templates. Can I choose a BLogger template? And can I edit the tempate’s HTML as in blogger????????
yes you can edit template HTML in blogger.
is it possible even in godaddy or hostgater???????? Can I use even Wordpess themes in these????????????????
yes
should i need to spend more money in hostgator, name.com, godaddy than in blogger custom domain
Yes. When you choose blogger domain it has .blogspot in url. Also most of the ads networks are not compatible with it.
My last question about domains:
Suppose, I bought a domain in name.com and start posting in blogger and when I want to switch to WordPress shall I change my template
Yes. You can posts, comments, and users from a Blogger blog to wordpress.
