We were hoping to transfer my Web site and this blog to their new WordPress home today, but due to technical difficulties we have to wait, hopefully not long.
I’m beginning to think WordPress would be an excellent platform for many small and midsize company Web sites, whether a blog is involved or not.
1. Easy to set up.
2. Reasonable cost.
3. Incredible flexibility to add and change Web pages.
4. And for us habitual tweakers, fast and cost-free editing.
Those are some pretty big benefits, especially for a company that’s growing and evolving, like Word Sell, Inc.
WordPress is great. If you get a good hosting company (with Fantastico support so you can auto-install and auto-update) and set your own domain up, it’s as easy to have your own WordPress-powered site as to use Blogger. I use it for my own blog, of course, but also to build simple sites for my wife’s theatre company (www.ccompany.cc), my mother’s business (www.winterbourneevents.com) and others. I can put up a nice site for friends and family in a few hours.
Matthew, that’s encouraging! Thanks for the insight.
Only problem you’d face would be transferring your posts from blogspot to wordpress.
There is an option to import the posts from blogspot in wordpress 2.0. But I never tried it.
Just check in Manage -> Import sections in your wordpress 2.0 dashboard.

Thanks Jeanne, it’s coming along! Varun, Luckily I have a very skilled developer helping me with the switch. We’ll see how the transfer goes soon.
