  Hi WordPressians,

  This is my first forum entry, so be nice. :-)

  I was just wondering how’d I’d move my blog to my own domain etc? As in time I wish to work with AdSense and the like, and I hear WordPress doesn’t allow that; which is good and well.

  Anyways, any answers are much appreciated.

  Paul

  On your domain install WordPress 2.1
  Here, Manage > Export > Save the file
  There, Manage > Import > Upload the file
  That’s it :)

  For help with the 2.1 you need to ask at http://wordpress.org/support though.

  Hi Paul

  We’re always nice! ;)

  This FAQ thread should give you the information that you need about moving your blog:

  http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/can-i-migrate-my-blog-from-here-to-another-blog-somewhere-else/

  You’ll need to purchase a domain name and hosting from somewhere and then install wordpress for yourself. There’s loads of infromation about this over at http://www.wordpress.org, including downloads, instructions for setup and the forums for help with self hosted wordpress.

  Good luck!

  Edit: Mark and I were typing at the same time then. BTW Mark – I like your different post background!

  Actually it looks like the backgrounds switch back and forth because you’re edit post’s background is barely different from your first one.
