My First Blog
No I don’t mean this blog but the blog from the old days of using Blogger.com.
I created an account in 2003 when Google acquired Pyra Labs’ BlogSpot. I just wanted to know what this “blogging” buzz was all about. So I created an account on blogspot.

Didn’t post regularly there but it did help me understand blogging more. Consequently I launched several new blogs on different topics that I was interested in. Most notably Gila Chess Patzer which is now a Google PR4/10 blog. Also I’ve launched new blogs like The Patzer and PHP Learning Blog - I’m just hooked!
Now that I’ve migrated to my own self-hosted WordPress blog, it definitely gives me more control and raises my blog value when I go for paid posts.
And most importantly it doesn’t feel as “cheapo” as using Google free blogging service
Anyway here’s a link to all my old blog articles.

Well you do realize you can import all your old posts from Blogger to Wordpress right? That way they all don’t have to stay on the Blogger blog, that is unless you want them to.

Yes I do now that.
I just want all my old post to stay there for historical purpose. Anyway, I don’t want Google to penalise me for duplicate content. I don’t feel like deleting the old blog.

You could do what I did?
Just create a template OVER your content and ask google to stop indexing it… check out http://friedbeef.blogspot.com
