A pregnant girl's guide to finding a good blog host

I've alway's used Blogger, but thought I might try a new blog host for this blog. So I set up a tumblelog , which has the fun, easy to use-ness of sites like Twitter, looks slick and is super easy to use. However, the blog archive is rubbish, so two weeks later I thought I’d try Wordpress (thanks for the tip on that Terry!). So, I started migrating (manually I may add!) to Wordpress. Less than 24 hours later, I’ve thrown in the towel and come back to Blogger, as Wordpress wouldn’t let me have the cute little baby ticker (right hand side).

However, the tale doesn’t end here!. Wordpress allows you to import Blogger blogs, but not the other way round. I was buggered if I was going to manually import the same posts again. Fortunately after a spot of Googling, I managed to find an online convert which converted my Wordpress blog into a blogger friendly format. After half a dozen abortive (argh, so the wrong word to use on a pregnancy blog!) attempts, I finally managed to get the posts into this fine blog you see here!

Hurrah! I just have the remainder of the posts from Tumblr to manually add to this blog, changing the date and times of each post, re-tagging… can’t a pregnant girl just chill? Nope, not when you’re me!
