Transferring from Blogger to Wordpress

2012-01-16T16:44:00.000-08:00

I can't say this is the end-all tutorial - but this is how it goes and how I did the transfer. Firstly, I recommend going Wordpress.org - using the free wordpress.com interface you will run into a lot of problems, mainly you can't run scripts or add certain widgets, edit CSS and things like that, which you can do within the blogger interface. But, what this means is that you have to pay a company for hosting. I recommend GoDaddy, mainly because their tech support is amazing. Every time I call my problem is rectified, not to mention the techs are always friendly and speak clearly and at my level of understanding - no quasi-superior-tech-speak. They are also affordable, if you purchase a year of hosting you'll get a domain name for only $1.99, it equals to about $60 a year.

First things first, let's buy our hosting package. Go to
GoDaddy.com

Click on Hosting & Servers in the top green navigation.

The option I recommend is the Economy 4GH - you can choose between 3 months - 36 months. You want to keep the operating system with Linux, which is default (the penguin).

You get the option to purchase a secure SSL - you would do this if you were running a shopping cart, so you don't need this.

Once you add this to your cart, you will get a TON of other options, this is the one thing that drives me crazy about the GoDaddy.com check out process. It is a lot of stuff to wade through. You really don't need any of it, except if you are purchasing a domain. Look for the area that says START A DOMAIN NAME SEARCH. Search the one you want and hit add to cart. Once you do that, click No Thanks at the bottom.

Purchase and you are good to go.

Now you have to install the Wordpress software on the server. Click the MY ACCOUNT link in the top green navigation.

Scroll down to My Products. Click on your hosting account and LAUNCH the green button next to it. It will take you into your hosting control.

To the right on the page there will be a black button that says APPLICATIONS and right below it, Wordpress. Click Wordpress.

New Page -- loading ;)

Click Install Now the white button under the application rating

You want to click the radio button next to the domain and click the next button.

Godaddy has to set up a Database for WP, I wouldn't keep it as the default WordPress, maybe call it something like YOURDOMAIN_WP

Create a password, I would use the usual Capitol letter, 6 letters, 2 numerics and a symbol password. Save this information somewhere on your harddrive.

Click Next -- now we are going to Choose the directory to install within. You are going to delete wordpress in the box and leave blank.

Now you want to create an Admin name - this is the name you will login to access your Wordpress dashboard. Create a good password so you can't get hacked, but your admin would most likely be the name you want to comment with. I use Parajunkee. Add an email you want to associate with your web/blog and the Blog Title.

Click Finish.

It will take 30 minutes to set up Wordpress and create the database.

Once installed you will access your dashboard by typing in:
YOURURL.com/wp-admin

__________

Transitioning Blogger to Wordpress

Step 1: Transferring your feed

First things first, if you haven't signed up for Feedburner, you have to do so now. If you haven't here is a walk-through { http://parajunkee.com/2011/10/book-blogging-101-lets-talk-feedburner.html }.

Then log into Blogger and go to the Settings > Site Feed and in the POST FEED REDIRECT URL box enter your new FEEDBURNER feed URL

Step 2: Setting Up Wordpress

Go to your WP dashboard:

Let's set it up to work best for your service.

Pinging - this tells WP who to send a PING to when you post. Go to WRITING under Settings and you want to add your PING list, you would do this under Update Services. There is a great list at this blog, you want to copy all these URLs into that box. http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/blog-ping-url-list/

Go to SETTINGS > GENERAL and add your time zone

Go to ALL POSTS and delete the Hello World Post.

Go to COMMENTS and delete the Mr. Wordpress comment

Go to Pages and delete the SAMPLE Page

Go back to SETTINGS > Reading and change syndication from 10 to 20 items.

Settings > Permalinks: Now you want to change your permalinks so they match those in blogger. Go to SETTINGS > PERMALINKS and in the CUSTOM PERMALINKS you want to put this in that box:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html

One more thing to do, for a future step you want to install another plugin for Feedburner. Go into ADD PLUGIN again, and search FEEDSMITH and add and activate that plugin, you'll need that for later to keep your Feedburner account active

Step 3: Import/Export

Back to your Wordpress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add Plugin
Search Term Blogger Importer
Click Install Now on the Blogger Importer
Then it will give you a list of the steps, click Activate once it is done

Now go to Tools > Import

Click on Blogger

They are going to want you to authorize with Google. Sometimes this works and other times it doesn't. It's rather finicky. If it doesn't work when you click authorize, clear your cache and close down your browser. Restart. Open your browser back up. Log in to blogger and gmail with the account you want to authorize and then get back into WP and try to authorize again. That has worked for most in the past. If not try another browser.

Once you authorize you will get a list of all the blogs you mange. Click import next to the name of the blog you want. It will process and you will know it is done when it prompts you to set authors. Click that and set your authors name - usually if you are the only authorized user, it will be easy. If you have multiple authors you will have to create new accounts.

Step 4: Transfer the Feeds time

If you are ready to make the break for it, I would recommend writing a farewell blogger post - now that you've transferred everything and leave a link in that post that says something like - feed and URL is forwarding, but if not please click on this link to be forwarded to our new home and leave your link.

Then, once you do that, login to FEEDBURNER and you now want to edit your feed details. When you set it up to begin with you added your blogger feed, now you want to add your WP feed. Change that blogger feed to: http://YOURURL.com/feed/

Then go back into WP and that Feedsmith that you installed earlier and add your Feedburner link

Step 5: Forwarding your URL

You want people if they somehow click on your old blog, whether search terms, or if they are going to the .blogspot URL to be forwarded to your new address.

Go into DASHBOARD > TEMPLATE > EDIT HTML --blah blah proceed

Search term <head>

and copy this right after it:
<meta content='0; url=http://YOURNEWURL.com/' http-equiv='refresh'/>

That will do it! You are ready to check yourself out of Blogger and into Wordpress.

A New Type of Template Design: Meet Hills! You can dress her up!

2011-12-12T12:04:00.000-08:00

My design work has changed over the last few years that I have been doing this, but what I've noticed is that a lot of you like to change up your designs, either seasonally or just on a whim. To purchase a custom design each time can get rather expensive so, to battle this, I've thought up a rather unique way of handling this. I'm going to whip up an avatar and you will be able to dress her up in different templates throughout the year. Same avatar, same look --- just new clothes, or new holiday themes to go with the avatar. So, your blog will retain continuity throughout the year, but you'll be able to keep things changing and fresh, without the price of a complete blog design. The first avatar is a cute blond girl, that I've nick named Hill's. Currently Hill's has one main template (meaning it comes included with graphics geared specifically for a book blog), two "dress-up" templates and a Christmas and New Year's look. You can view the templates live and purhcase the files below. Features: All templates are able to be modifed via the Blogger template Designer. Seasonal designs will be published during their respective holidays and can actually be requested Expected designs to come: Mardi Gras, Easter, Summer, Fourth of July, If you have any problems with this design please email me at parajunkee at cox dot net

Genres I read:
Paranormal Romance | Urban Fantasy | Young Adult (paranormal themed) |
Erotic Romance (paranormal &"normal")

Design specs:

"clean and uncluttered"

We like our basic color scheme, the light bluish/aqua. We don't want anything too cluttered. We'd like something pretty and some clean lines, nothing really cartoony looking...and something building off our blog title....a pile of books or something...

Some loves are meant to be…others are cursed.

Elizabeth Blackburn doesn’t believe in fate or the supernatural until she moves into Cliffside Manor and begins having nightmares about a woman who was murdered in the house.

Determined to unlock secrets that have remained hidden for centuries, Elizabeth is plunged into an otherworldly mystery that not even she can explain away, not to mention, her uncontrollable attraction to the former owner, Dorian Knight.

As the history of the Knight family curse begins to unravel, tensions heighten and old secrets turn deadly. Even though Dorian wants nothing to do with Elizabeth and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go...even if it kills her.

Something different.

I {heart} Romance...

2011-08-22T20:51:00.000-07:00

Author, Macy Beckett told me about the books that she has written and it was almost instant inspiration. Especially after she showed me a few example of the sites she likes and they were just so clean and pretty...I knew I had to step up the bar and out of my usual dark comfort zone. Chick lit. I love a challenge...

What Macy had to say about the design:

...Just want to thank you again. It was a pleasure working with you, and I appreciate not only your skill, but your patience as well. You responded to all my questions in a flash and went above and beyond. The compliments keep rolling in, and I'm so thrilled with my site!

She's Bona Fide...

2011-08-09T07:42:00.000-07:00

Welcoming in a new design to the book blogger world today. Bona Fide Reflections has been given a face lift. Directions given included an avatar update, mature and a bit sexy, but not overly in-your-face, a purple color scheme, to expand on the the thought-bubble idea and embellishments to give it a softer look.

Clients thoughts after the blog went live:

"I love the avatar a lot, I love the colors scheme, I love the romantic thougts, I love the reflection of the word reflections, the sparse plant life since I won't have much time to keep them watered, hehehe..."

Rhiannon Paille's forthcoming novel, FLAME OF SURRENDER.

A little bit about the book:

The boy who follows death meets the girl who could cause the apocalypse.

Krishani thinks he’s doomed until he meets Kaliel, the one girl on the island of Avristar who isn’t afraid of him. She’s unlike the other girls, she swims with merfolk, talks to trees and blooms flowers with her touch. What he doesn’t know is that she’s a flame, one of nine individually hand crafted weapons, hidden in the body of a seemingly harmless girl.

Nobody has fallen in love with a flame until now. She becomes Krishani’s refuge from the dreams of death and the weather abilities he can’t control. Striking down thousand year old trees with lightning isn’t something he tries to do, it just happens. When the Ferryman dies, Krishani knows that he’s the next and that a lifetime of following death is his destiny.

And Kaliel can’t come with him. The Valtanyana are hunting the flames, the safest place for her is Avristar. Krishani can’t bear to leave her, and one innocent mistake grants the Valtanyana access to their mystical island. They’re coming for Kaliel, and they won’t stop until every last living creature on Avristar is dead. She has to choose, hide, face them, or awaken the flame and potentially destroy herself.

Nothing left out...

Andra of Unabridged Andra had only a few stipulations, she loved purple and blues and she had a graphic that she had purchased already. With that to go on I think I came up with a very clean design...

See the blog live.

What did Andra have to say about her design? Link to rave post.

"I seriously cannot rant and rave enough about how freaking awesome Parajunkee is! She went above and beyond to create this amazing layout. She added all sorts of extras that I didn't even think to add and I pretty much love her forever. Seriously...she rocks my face off. The. END.

SO...All I can say is a HUGE Thank You to PJ and I hope I can somehow pay her back in some way...though I have absolutely no clue what that would be...lol" -Andra

2011-07-31T08:41:00.000-07:00

A slave to popular demand, that's me, I've created some icons that you can use in your reviews. They are free for your use. All I ask is that you maybe post a design or parajunkee button on your blog. You don't have to, but it would be nice.

Getting Trendy with Custom Icons

2011-07-30T09:24:00.000-07:00

Have you seen the latest trend in the book blogger world? Putting fun icons before or underneath your post. Mostly utilized by bloggers that review both adult and young adult titles to signify what is safe for teenage consumption...icons can be a fun way to categorize your reviews. I had fun yesterday and made some for myself.

I Have a Confession to Make...

2011-07-30T08:21:00.000-07:00

MyShelfConfessions.com is a book blog that specilizes in the genres of Mystery/Thriller/Suspense, Dystopian, Young Adult, Paranormal Fiction and Urban Fantasy. April that runs the blog was very specific in her likes. She loves purple and teal, argyle and she wanted a vampire avatar that her finger up, "shushing" like she had a secret.

This blog is a self-hosted Wordpress blog and I worked within the Chip-Life template.

What April says about the design:

Hi Rachel, I love it all! Think it looks great!

There are also a few other images that are included with April's package.

Making Mojo

2011-07-30T07:47:00.000-07:00

Jessica Wisniewski is a teacher in the Chicago suburbs and currently trying to get her first novel MoJoFingers published. From the description she gave me "black or cement gray background, and a sort of graphic novel feel" and then the description of her characters - middle grade super heroes, we came up with this design.

What Jessica has to say about her design:

Rachel -

I LOVE it! You = Awesome with a side of Awesome Sauce! I love the graphic quality of the lettering, the colors, and the little sketches up at the top! SO COOL!

Thanks,

Jess

Remodeling a Bookshelf...

Lily's Book Shelf was one of PJD's first clients and after a bit of time she wanted a "revamp" of her old site, but keep her avatar.

Going Green with Julia Crane

2011-06-13T06:51:00.000-07:00

Julia Crane, author of Coexist: Keegan's Chronicles is a debut author. Her first book is about Elves and the striking image she used for her cover speaks of greenery and fantasy. I implemented a similar look with the design, but didn't focus on an exact match so she would have room to expand her design with other titles as she publishes them. View actual site.

Julia's site is a complete web design and is not hosted through a CMS program.

Don't Blend in. Stand Out.

Random Magic Cover Contest

2010-12-15T18:37:00.000-08:00

Contest: Re-imagining the cover of Random Magic
hosted by LA FEMME READERS

Book Random Magic
Author: Sasha Soren
Current Cover:

When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from Alice in Wonderland, young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes. Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is. Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Struths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.

Cover Contest: Nightshade

2010-10-15T19:38:00.000-07:00

Cover Contest hosted by The Book Vixen {Details Here}

Original Cover:

Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything--including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

Another Cover Contest...

2010-10-08T06:12:00.000-07:00

This design is for another cover contest. This is not commissioned or paid artwork.

Hosting the contest: My Overstuffed Bookshelf
The Mission: Recreate the cover of Ghost Town by Rachel Caine

The Original Book:

The fragile peace between humans and vampires in Morganville is in trouble, and when Claire takes drastic action, she's put under serious pressure to re-establish the barriers that keep the town residents inside, and wipe the memories of those who leave. But working with her half-crazy vampire boss Myrnin means that things don't always turn out as planned ... and as the people of Morganville begin acting strangely, Claire and her friends must solve the mystery and try to put things right. But one by one, her allies are turning on her ... even the ones she trusts most.
.
.
.
.
.
.

So here is my take of Ghost Town. I have not read this book but I have read the first two in the series.

The Mission: Recreate the cover of Minder by Kate Kaynak

The Original Book:

"Sixteen-year-old Maddie Dunn is special, but she needs to figure out how to use her new abilities before somebody else gets hurt. Ganzfield is a secret training facility full of people like her, but it's not exactly a nurturing place. Every social interaction carries the threat of mind-control. A stray thought can burn a building to the ground. And people's nightmares don't always stay in their own heads. But it's still better than New Jersey--especially once she meets the man of her dreams..."

Physical description of Maddie: green eyes, straight brown hair, small build, short (5 ft 3)

.
.
.
.
.
.

So here is my take of Minder. I have not read this book so please do not throw tomatoes at me if I didn't catch the feel.

I submitted a cover for J.A. Saare's upcoming release...Crimson Sunrise. Let's just hope that her publishers allows her to submit her own artwork. She says it is unlikely, because TWRP is kind of strict about cover art but a girl can dream right?

Typography & Moonshine...

2010-09-27T10:17:00.000-07:00

I put a lot of emphasis on the typography in some of my latest designs. I had ran across a fun TYPOGRAPHY poster that had just the big text in a unique layout, so I wanted to see how it would look on a blog design. I think it worked out well with THE CHRONICLES OF EMILY CROSS, because with the girl, tree, moon and forest, gaudy thick and thin text might have been over-powering.

I also translated it to the blog button, which is actually probably my favorite blog button that I have designed. Let me know what you think!

2010-09-27T10:11:00.000-07:00

The latest design is for Romance Author Lisa Sanchez. I had the opportunity to also read her book for Eve of Samhain so I think it gave me a little more "behind the scenes" input to whip out a hot design for her. What do you think?

Midnight Glance

2010-07-27T19:56:00.000-07:00

This one I had fun with, but I'm a big fan of the Full Moon. This is for Midnight Glance. Check out her b log and tell her how much you like the new design! Puh-lease.

I'm being held hostage...

2010-07-27T19:52:00.000-07:00

Jamie Saare has commandeered me...and is forcing me to do all her design! She is holding me captive and bribing me with Frappachinos and the chance to look at some really nice male physiques... here is the latest piece in the J.A. Saare line.

Check out her writing blog...Random Musings

One of my favorite designs in awhile...

2010-07-17T20:49:00.000-07:00

I think I'm in love with the sofa... or maybe because it has been awhile that I've done something that is not in tones of blacks, LOL. I can really do the creepy well, so it is fun to show people that I have a softer side ;)

Patti @ Book Addict's new design.

Shadow Design

2010-07-17T07:27:00.000-07:00

Hawt New Design...

2010-07-17T06:00:00.000-07:00

Author Leslie Lee Sanders hired me to give her site a little more panache by updating the header and background. There is usually no blur on the booty - but you know, didn't want to contribute to anyone's delinquency or anything ;)

Cool Design for Summer...

2010-06-16T05:20:00.000-07:00

Just in time for summer...this splashing design makes me want to run straight for the pool. Chase at The Bibliophile's Lounge is the winner of the Big Sis/Little Blog Program and the recipient of a Best Seller design from me.

Collieliscious...

2010-06-06T17:57:00.000-07:00

A nature loving design that focuses on her Collie pup. Karen @ For What it's Worth wanted to show a girl reading and walking her Collie. Natural colors with an emphasis on beige and browns.

Voila...

Urban Fantasy ...

2010-05-30T06:35:00.000-07:00

Trini from A Book Lover's Review had me create a design that reflected her Puerto Rican heritage, her love of UF & PNR and also to demonstrate the Book Lover's theme. Gives a literal look to Urban Fantasy.

Must be a Muse Thing...

2010-05-24T13:53:00.000-07:00

This one is a work in progress. I will post the URL when ready. Had to post this though because I'm noticing that I go through themes, I don't know what it is, I don't think it is me, but for some reason it just happens that way.

This time it is muses. I did two Addicts at one time. Werewolves were paired together. Chick lit another time. Does the universe pair them, like attracts like?

Among the Muses

2010-05-24T13:48:00.000-07:00

New Design rolls... a happy fairy explosion of color.

I was given a picture they had purchased from a stock photo site...and was told to roll with it and the color involved.

Fantasy Header Design

2010-05-12T05:21:00.000-07:00

Header design for The Book Pushers. I'm a big fan of the antiqued, parchment look. I really got to utilize it on this one.

Hauntingly Delicious...

2010-05-11T13:54:00.000-07:00

This was so much fun to work with! Presenting Spirits, Hauntings and Eats! Spirits, Hauntings, and Eats - The female perspective of paranormal investigation by three women who each bring their unique gifts and perspective to explore the unknown as only they can.
