If, like many bloggers, you started out using a free hosting platform, there may come a time when you want the increased flexibility of a self-hosted paid platform.
The question many bloggers ask is: “Which blogging platform is the right one for my needs?” but the answer may be far from simple.
For a start there will rarely be just the one best platform for you to choose but you will often be confronted with a range of options which could fit the bill.
It may be that you just want to avoid some of the restrictions associated with your previous free blog such as limits over they type of content you can publish or restrictions on placing adverts on the blog.
If that is your only concern then you may not be too fussy about your new platform and your only consideration may be how easy it is to transfer your old blog to the new host.

…Darren Rowse of ProBlogger has some suggestions for getting back into blogging after a vacation…
“Yesterday was my first day back at blogging after a 10 day vacation with my family and on Twitter I commented that I was finding it a little hard to get my brain back into blogging mode. @Mikeachim responded by suggesting I write a post on the daily rituals that I use to get my mind into gear.
I thought I’d take his suggestion and jot down a few notes – both as a way of getting my head back into blogging but also because looking at the tweets I received this morning it’s a problem many bloggers face.” Source: 13 Ways I Get Back into Blogging after a Vacation
While technically I wasn’t on vacation in Europe [I was managing the ACGO online community from Agritechnica] I was so busy coordinating social media for my client that it probably LOOKED like I was on vacation based on the number of posts to the site…
Lesson learned? Tending a blog is like tending a farm or raising animals — it requires constant care and feeding! I was in Europe 11 days starting on the 6th — even though I posted a couple of times and my blog automatically recycles old posts using ‘Old Post Promoter’ my traffic suffered a pretty good hit…
That’s why I say blogging is not something that you do, it’s something you are. It’s more of a lifestyle than anything else and requires a little bit of attention every day…
There’s an 800-pound gorilla in the room and we haven’t really addressed it yet. We talk about how to blog and some techniques to make it easier. We even talk about some places and ways to get ideas for blogs, but one thing we don’t talk about a lot is that sometimes you just don’t want to blog.
You don’t feel like sitting down at the keys and pumping out good content for your audience. There are a million other things to take care off, why not just take some time off?
We’ve all given you hundreds of reasons to blog. Well, I’m going to take a different approach and give you 23 things that shouldn’t stop you from blogging. How many of these excuses have you used before?
