I’d love to get away from Blogger and move to my own domain. What about all the links and search results to my old posts, wouldn’t they all be lost? The no-follow tags that Blogger has implemented is one reason I wish I had never started there.

Hi Kathy,

Yes, that is a wordpress plugin. You might want to check this post for a list of wordpress plugins which all work together – you have to make sure they are stable and they don’t conflict, otherwise your entire blog can crash

I’ve tested this list for over 2 months now.

The one you want is subscribe to comments, that page has a link to where you can get it.

I highly recommend the templates from Courtney Tuttle – one of the best places to get robust and tested themes which do not contain hidden links is –

Cheers,

I have a question about comments. I am moving to WordPress soon and would like to have a box that commenters can check off to notify them of follow-up comments via email. Is that a WordPress plug-in that does that? Or is that a function of the theme I choose? Also, the main WordPress themes site seems to be down. Bummer, because I wanted to finalize my choice this weekend so I could move on Monday. Where else can I get robust, tested WordPress themes? Thank you!

It’s not just a good deal Snos – it’s a FANTASTIC deal!!! This is the BEST decision I think I’ve made since I started blogging. I can’t believe how well the blog has come up! And to anyone out there who is thinking “I don’t think I know enough about technical type stuff to do this”…. Well, neither did I and I didn’t need to!!!! Honestly, you can do this!

This is the only way I could have gone to self hosting as I really don’t understand a lot of the technical side of things. So, if you’re like me, you should grab this deal with both hands!!!!!

I LOVE your blue button Snoskred! Thanks again for all your hard work!

I’ve already commented over there about that button. I love it. Everything looks great. I think I’ll be stealing bits of code when I work on revamping my site. I have to do everything the hard way…
