Excellent advice. I found permalinks to be one of the most important things to do when I switched over. I moved from blogger to wordpress and noticed blogger had the .html code after it, which cause many viewers to go to my 'Error 404' page. Custom permalinks is the way to go.

I also found that moving the feed and notifying my subscribers was very important. Unfortunately I lost 100 subscribers over the course of a few days because I didn't communicate properly when switching our site over. I wanted it to be a “surprise”, but turns out I should have let my readers know what I had been up to.

Lastly, the writing box is definitely too small. I will be doing that today. Thanks!
