Does wordpress have any advantage in terms of getting listed in search engines when compared to blogger? I am considering a switch if so despite the tens of hours put into customizing my blogger blog. Does anyone else know if wordpress blogs get listed in search engines more easily? Thanks as I am getting a bit desperate not seeing any search engine traffic -Alex from ebizexperiment Interesting to read the comments, I see that more and more of the successfull bloggers are using wordpress as a blogging platform while I am still using Blogger.

Scared now. Dont even mention wearing nighties to me or is it nightly's? never could tell...dont care. Am I the walking dead already? Not that I've noticed!

Despite losing a few obviously incompatible plugins, it's humming right along. I converted all the old WordPress style "latin1" DB tables to "utf8" before the upgrade though just to keep it all clean so to speak. The developers are doing a fine job on this one.

I'm going to have a look at the information on the nightlies, and I'll update once more after I get it :P Cheers :) Ah, It’s just that I am considering upgrading mine, thanks for letting me know.

Unless your theme is drastically modified it's just an extract, upload and activate type of thing. I've never had a problem with it.

I haven't seen any official beta release announcements. I'll just occasionally update from SVN as new changes go in. And yes, I need to add a subscribe plugin on my site. I've been meaning to for a while, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. There is some built-in Gravatar support in WP 2.5, but it does not automagically add Gravatar icons to your post comments. The Gravatars appear in various parts of the admin interface, and there are template functions available for themes to use. I'll be updating Easy Gravatars to take advantage of that.
