The first downside is that you WILL lose some readers who are grabbing your feed, but won't, for whatever reasons, make the switch. I've actually switched twice and have considered moving away from 12W because of all the SBC baggage that goes along with it, but it is SOOOO hard to re-establish myself with Google, that I'll probably stay here. If you are not well known to google, however, I'd encourage you to make the switch. There is a lot that you can do with your own domain and software that being a blogspot blogger keeps you from doing. Mostly, it has to do with performance and bandwidth. I left blogger because it was giving me grief, eating my template and letting pornographic spam through. As for those who could help, Joe Kennedy, Micah Fries and David Phillips are all good at it and might be willing to help. I pray you are well. Hey, Aaron.

A couple questions. What are the downsides for a blogspot user such as myself to make the switch to Word Press? I may be one of the few who have not made the switch. But I fear losing readers if I make the switch (not confident all my subscribers will update their RSS feeds). Also, for someone who isn't tech savy and who doesn't have the time to become an expert, who out there would give my blog a professional makeover for a reasonable price? Any thoughts? This promises to be a helpful series!
