So you want to move from Blogger to WordPress? I don’t blame you, Blogger has it’s limitations.
The one’s which annoyed me were:

Link Checker is designed to crawl though your blog, verifying that the links you’ve linked to are still there.
Now my utility of choice is Xenu, and I blogged about it here. Not that there is anything wrong with Xenu, I just noticed Link Checker* and thought I’d give it a spin.

Using sex to sell IT services really turns me off. It makes me think to myself:
“Is their service so poor, that they need to get my attention some other way.”
