Hey Jim,

I found that Akismet wasn't doing a great job at catching spam, so I installed the Bad Behavior plugin to work alongside Akismet. I now don't get any spam comments making their way to public view. They all get caught by Akismet or Bad Behavior. :)

The other plugin I like is "Odiogo Listen Button". It converts your posts to an audio file so readers can download them as a podcast and listen to them, rather than reading them.

Excellent! Thank you so much for the checklist! I've bookmarked, and will be using it to tie up loose ends.

@ Jamie - Cool, I will check out Bad Behavior. I use Odiogo on my blog too, I guess I should have added it.

@ Betsy - Con Mucho Gusto (You're Welcome)

Thanks for the list of plug-ins. I downloaded and installed a few that I didn't have.

Another really good one is the WP-Print which allows readers to print the post they are viewing. You can configure it to print without graphics.

@ Wendy - Thanks, checking out that plugin now. Glad you liked the list.

It's crazy how much start-up effort is required to get a blog up and running with all the latest and greatest plug-ins.

I hadn't heard of Bad Behavior, so I'll have to give that one a try. Although, Akismet is working pretty good for me. so far it's blocked anything I would call spam.

thanks for sharing.

I agree with the other Justin. it is amazing how much work it really is to get a blog up and running. It really does take a lot of time and effort things rolling along smoothly. Checklists like this will make it a lot easier to not forget important tasks along the way.

Damn, this is complex stuff. I am grateful immensely that you have put all of this together, but as a member of an generation that is heading toward extinction I am completely overwhelmed by this and actually terrified. I guess I will just keep on blogging the old style. And die alone... :-D

Guys, you should professionalize yourselves and offer blogging services to us, dinosaurs, you know, a few bucks per months to get all this darn plugins and other technical thingies on our blogs and keep them running.

On the second though, I guess thousands of teenagers are already doing this and perhaps I need to start searching for some help. Professional help, so to say...

In fact, you provide us a very useful check list U could use to switch from Blogger to WP in a self hosted blog.

Thanks a million for this.
I truly appreciate.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future. And as a designer, I think you have a pretty nice layout :)

Hi, I'm glad I found this - better late than never! I'm just contemplating moving my free blog on Wordpress over to my site, so this list will come in handy. Its definitely worth a tweet.
