<p>In my start into blogging I start to blog on <a href="http://wordpress.com/">wordpress.com</a> from hosting blog, I like it but after blogging many posts I found it has many limitations, so I decided to get self hosted blog engine, I searched for many blog engines and I inspired with<a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/">Scott Hanselman's blog</a> and downloaded <a href="http://dasblog.codeplex.com/">dasBlog engine</a>, hosted it locally, and start the journey of customizing and configuration, I wasn't as easy as it sounds, you must get your hand dirty with CSS, ASP.NET, JavaScript, and XML configuration files, but after 2 weeks I got it up and working. After a while I realized I want more fixable blog engine, start searching and found <a href="http://wordpress.org/">Wordpress</a> my old engine but the self hosted one is the most common blog used on the internet, even my buddy <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/meligy" title="@Meligy">Mohammed Meligy</a> once a while decided to use wordpress as <a href="http://gurustop.net/">his blog</a> engine. Decision has been made and it's time to buy PHP hosting instead of .NET one and install Wordpress; it took me 4\~5 days to complete this setup but if you subtract the 2 days I spent in searching for the suitable theme, the total is 2\~3 days to step my wordpress blog, so what did I do in this setup?</p>
<ul>
<li>Buy hosting plan</li>
<li>Install & configure Wordpress</li>
<li>Install & configure theme</li>
<li>Migrate old posts</li>
<li>Upload old media</li>
<li>Install & configure plug-ins</li>
<li>Configure <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" title="feedburner">FeedBurner</a> & <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics" title="Google Analytics">Google Analytics</a></li>
</ul>
<p>After all I'm so happy with Wordpress, I'll keep my blog in here and will never change my engine again to apply this rule of <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BlogInteresting32WaysToKeepYourBlogFromSucking.aspx">Scott Hanselamn's 32 rules to make your blog suckless</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Avoid Split Brain - Pick a Blog and Stay There</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Avoid maintaining two blogs. It's just as tacky, if not more so,
as having 5 phone numbers on your business card. It makes it
hard to find you, and your two blogs will always be fighting each
other on Google, splitting your virtual personality.</li>
</ul>
