Made the switch from Blogger to WordPress with the New Year.
I’ve been using Google’s Blogger for my posting needs for a long time. It was simple and acted as my main website until I bought my new domain http://nirm.it. But, editing its theme or adding new widgets/plugins was tough or just not possible. I decided to switch.
Setting up WordPress was fast and easy. I was able to import all my posts from Blogger with the help of a simple plugin and few clicks. My Blog was up and running in half an hour.
Finding a minimal WordPress theme that matched my original site was a challenge. I tried editing some available themes but they had a lot of things going on under the hood and was even a tougher challenge. I ended up making a custom theme from scratch. With my new Theme, you can browse & read my posts, add comments, and share on Twitter/Facebook while the blog blends into my site and it’s responsive!
With no prior knowledge about WordPress or even php, I’m quite happy how the blog looks right now. This is still a Work In Progress, so expect more features + changes here. I’ll also be posting more frequently about my Apps, Windows Phone & Windows development, and other stuff.

P.S.
Happy New Year!
