Hey everyone.
I am very thankful to have people who read and comment on my blog regularily so just thought I would ask some advice from everyone.
I am thinking of updating to Wordpress and updating my URL from www.therandomforest.info to www.therandomforest.com.
I would then use www.therandomforest.info to carry on with paid posts and some cross posting from www.therandomforest.com.
I just wanted to know if everyone would be willing to switch their subscriptions and visit the new site?
I was also wondering if anybody had any ideas for any Wordpress themes that would suit me?
Would the prescence of advert spaces, other than Adsense on my new site deter anyone?
Thanks for you help, it's appreciated.

Wordpress is difficult for me, but you probably won't have a problem. I don't visit often, but if you'll remind me when you switch I'll subscribe to you in my reader again. You are in there already.
Sometimes you just need a change. If you can afford it get some help in setting up your new blog. I know a guy that works very reasonably and does fine work. Just tell him what you want and he works out the kinks. I should have a new look up in the next week. Hope this helps. :)
It sounds like a good idea. Perhaps you should purchase the .com and the .info just a thought. You could always have.info point to the .com later if you like or leave them as separate websites.
The advertisements wouldn't bother me if I thought it was too commercial I would just skip over it. However I do try to click on at least one adsense, if I'm interested, when I visit my buddies. I've found some good websites that way and it also makes my blog buddies a little money in the process.

I would definitely follow you where you told me to go!

Of course, there is the option of keeping everyone's subscription and just switching the feed from FeedBurner to the new WP feed. ;)
That's how I did it when I did the switch (of course, I didn't have a domain change thrown in as well though...) :)

Yo Forest! I don't know if you knew this, but I wasn't the biggest fan of Blogger "before".
Now with all this OpenId stuff, I've even less of a fan. I've already extended the offer to others of my blogging bretherend, but if you decide to switch to a real server and need to setup wordpress, it would be my absolute pleasure to help you along the way in any way that I can. *nod*
Gl with whatever you decide to do!

I'll be following you Forest, you are making a great move. I've tried wordpress because of course it is the best for bloggers, but unfortunately it's too technical for me. Good luck with your new site!
I can only say that I have no tech ability whatsoever, but both of my sites are on wordpress. I own my domain so go through wordpress.org. There is so much support out there, even at the PPP forum. You will find you have so much more freedom than you do at blogger and more control over your own site.
Let me know when you switch your domain so I can switch my feed! :-D
