Well, the address can be pointed at that server or at one here, it's entirely your decision. If you wish to stay with your current host instead of getting a WordPress.com blog, then you need to be at WordPress.ORG for further instructions.

I want to trash iWeb, but only after I have SET UP the WP ready to go, so that I can swap from the iWeb to WP seamlessly, but STILL stay on my present server (I want the website address to stay the same, I have other websites hosted there, but only this one has a blog)...

But I do think that using either WP.org software or moving the whole thing to WP.com is a good idea. The main differences are: here we don't pay for hosting, we can't customize our themes without a paid upgrade, can't post ads, can't use javascript, raw flash, or iframes, can't use plugins. But never have to do tech support, upgrades, or security.

Which Web-design software is completely immaterial, but for meantime, I don't want to lose my web-presence. What I mean by that is, that I don't want to be hosted on a sub-domain of Word Press', if you see what I mean. iWeb must go, unfortunately and 'sandbox' is a very poor copy, with far fewer features and dead end as far as I'm concerned. They don't have their hearts in it, I feel and only want to tap into the loyal iWeb followers and drain their accounts. Their templates are expensive and absolutely restrictive. Not good. That's not how iWeb was conceived...

That makes things a little different: I have the possibility, offered by my Host, to install Word Press into mt domain... is this what you mean?? So best to steer clear of that?. I miss mu blog being 'commentable' and a few other features that I feel that Word Press can offer. Is there an alternative that you could recommend, or should I just stick with what I'm doing now?? Your opinion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Peter

But this is a bad choice: iWeb is not supported, which means that it has entered the death spiral. It will cease to work, little by little, until it is completely useless.

This is because of statistics and other 'conveniences', that I want to keep in one place, and because of the TLD address, of course! Is this possible without losing the website for weeks in the interim?? (i.e. while I'm copying all the stuff over) Thanks, Peter

There are lots of great dark themes you can use for free here, though.

Yes, it could be done in a month. It would take perhaps fifteen minutes per post, so you could do it in your spare time. The first few will be the hardest. All you need to do is make sure you're using Posts for the blog posts and Pages for the static pages.

And, before you copy paste ANYTHING at all, go to Dashboard->Settings->Writing and select "Wordpress should correct invalidly nested XHTML" and Save. That prevents the copy paste procedure from introducing cumulative HTML errors that can wreck your blog.

I had imagined that. Not a problem. I would still need to know how to go about it? Do you think that it would be done in a month or so? I would like do do it 'in the background' and update it 'when it it is finished'? Did you like the website as such? Is a similar structure possible with Word Press...? Thanks, Peter

You'll have to copy the text in each of your posts, create a new post here, paste it in (paste it in the Text editor and format in the Visual editor after it's all pasted in) add a title and tags/categories/images, and then publish the post.

I relly like the idea of blogging with WordPress, but need an initial push. Can any one help me? I have my own website, which I 'run' from a Mac using iWeb, which is really simple and unfortunately 'no longer supported' by Apple. That's not actually the problem. I would just love to port everything over to Word Press, just have 1) no idea how, 2) how much gets 'lost in the translation' and 3) setting-up and 'how it goes from here' questions. I feel very tiny in your massive community and really just want the initial shove to get me going on what I see as a marvelous and creative community. My website and blog is at http://www.classicbikenut.com, for anyone that would like to look and offer me help and advice. I have been doing computers (mostly macs) since 1984 when I bought my Lisa, so am not completely computer illiterate, but really do look for some advice on the 'changeover' to WordPress!

I hear good things about you so I signed up to build my website (I do not want a blog).

On one hand, the characteristic “blog” features like categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog, if you purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.

On the other, one can edit a WordPress.org theme free of charge. This comparison WordPress.com and WordPress.org: The Differences provides clarity. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

I had built a website with iweb and it looks strange and very different according to which browser you use, so I would like to use a different platform, such as wordpress.

Now, I am sure that once you know your way around it becomes much easier, but logging into your website for the first time I am terribly confused, cannot find how to move the site and then where I should click to view it and edit it (as I will need to, and rather frequently so, over the course of its life).

Thanks if you could put me onto the right path, where to go first is crucial as far as I am concerned.

Kind regards
