I'm so aggravated with WordPress.com today. I tried to import this blog over to a new one on WordPess.com. There is a new featuure which supposedly makes it easy. Sure... maybe if you have a small blog.
I tried seven times and it timed out each and every time. Then, it left Blogger with nothing but a link to WordPress. I reloaded my template from Blogger. I had it saved as the instructions said to do so.
But, after I reloaded the template the whole thing has left this blog in a mess. All my spacing between paragraphs is gone. The only spacing left is where I added blockquote tags. Everything else is all run together. I could go back through all my posts from the last year and a half and fix them. But, I just don't want to spend time doing that.
After all that, I found out you can't even customize your template at WordPress.com. Doesn't that make using WordPress kind of a moot point. Being about to change the theme/ template is one of my favourite things about blogging and WordPress especially. So, I will likely not use WordPress.com again. But, continue to use WordPress.org on my own site.
Meanwhile I will just have to try not to look at my old blog entries here. It is really going to bug me to see them all squished together like this. I wish I had never tried to import anything.

No. The theme competition isn't part of WordPress.com
The software is used there, WordPress.com is just a host site. They don't even let you play with the themes/ templates there.
I hope I can fix my Blogger today. I thought if I load a different template it would reset itself. I hope so. Later I can customize it all again.
Ha,ha..sorry..
I just set up a local host for WordPress.org on my own computer. It's really cool because I can use the program and mess with it without paying for hosting. Of course no one can see it but pffft.
WordPress.com is kind of a letdown..
