Okay. So this TechnoGeekery episode is actually show #26 (taking into account Quickies and Special Announcements). Just so we’re clear.
That said, have you ever dreamed of being an author? Like, what does J.K. Rowling have that you don’t, right?! Except, you know, like a gazillion dollars and a castle in Scotland, but whatever! All I’m saying is that if you have a blog, that dream of being an honest-to-goodness published author ain’t too far from a reality, yo?
Or have you ever worried that backing up your blog on a regular basis isn’t enough? Like, what would happen if your server crashed and you lost ALL THAT STUFF you’ve posted at your blog? HUH?! What THEN?! Because some of it is pretty darn good?! That’s where Blurb.com comes in…
Oh, let Chassy Pimp explain it. She does it so much better. Plus, she wrote a song and e’rything.
Take it away, Chassy Pimp!

Technogeekery Show #7: Breaking Up With Blogger
September 25, 2007

Music in this podcast provided by the Podsafe Music Network, with Remember by Black Lab, and Run by Mike Errico.
This week, the question du jour asks about transferring all of one’s posts from one blog host to another. See for yourself:
Dear Chassy Cat,
How do you move your former blogs (ie - blogs from Blogger) over to WordPress?
New TG SuperFan
Come on, you know how the song goes: They say that breaking up is hard to do…
But it doesn’t have to be like that, TechnoGeeks, and this week’s episode of TechnoGeekery shows you how to break up with Blogger–and move right in with Wordpress.com–in a snap.
Plus, there’s singing! And “Leave Wordpress ALONE” gal! And did I mention the singing?! Super bad singing?! Because there’s that.
FYI: These video podcasts are generated in a 640×480 format, which means if you only click and watch at my website, the tutorial videos are too small to see clearly.
So, to see them full-sized, either download the file (it’s a choice right under the video window),
OR
click on the “Subscribe in iTunes” button in my sidebar, wait a minute while iTunes opens (just ignore any blank browser windows that may open up), and when iTunes opens to my TechnoGeekery page, click on the “Subscribe” button. Badda bing badda boom! You’re all signed up to my iTunes RSS feed. SWEET!
