The export/import functions work well for the transfer.<br /><br />The extra function Wordpress provides is amazing.<br /><br />There are certainly ways to use snippets of code to redirect readers. (If you go to rodneyolsen.blogspot.com you'll be told that the blog has moved then it will automatically redirect you to rodneyolsen.net)<br /><br />Don't delete your Blogger account. Keep it active as a redirection so no one can take it and display nasty stuff to your readers. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17565213.post-47496849658651267402010-10-27T22:50:52.352+08:002010-10-27T22:50:52.352+08:00Yeah, I wouldn't move to wordpress from blogge...Yeah, I wouldn't move to wordpress from blogger if I was just going to the free wordpress.

Much better than Blogger IMO, with a couple of caveats: if you use Wordpress.com (free hosted service), you can't use flash widgets nor advertising like Google Ads.

It's not like they didn't have a rule in place.

I saw the incident where he hurt his knee, the injury was completely unrelated to any of his past injuries. It was just one of those freakishly unlucky things that saw him strain his medial ligament in his 'good' knee. His form leading into the final was good. He was averaging 24 possessions a game and getting 5 inside 50's per game. His goal assists were desperately needed if we were to go deeper into September. If he didn't do his medial I'm sure he would have been far more valuable in the final.<br /><br />I wrote a blog post in the pre-season saying player for player I thought Freo this year would be better than in 2006 where they finished one game away from their first grand final birth. I wrote this after watching quite a bit of their training over the summer & I wasn't too far off the mark.<br /><br />There should be a lot of list changes in the coming months with up to 10 players retiring, being delisted or traded to other clubs. Dodd, Haselby, Tarrant, Headland, Hinkley, Murphy, O'brien, Schammer, Thornton & Solomon should all part ways with the club. 3-4 of those places will be filled by upgrading rookies, leaving at least 6-7 new senior listed players coming to the club and at least 3 new rookies.newlander77https://www.blogger.com/profile/18218634699524216900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17565213.post-15364985101501295522010-09-13T11:53:09.776+08:002010-09-13T11:53:09.776+08:00I think the inclusion of Hedland was a calculated ...I think the inclusion of Hedland was a calculated risk which did not pay off. <br />But Harvey has proved himself to make good decisions all year. <br /><br />They gave Hasleby a good send off at Hawks game.
