Do you know what that means? Less time blogging, more time working, networking, and building my skills outside this damn house FINALLY! Am I nervous? Of course. Will I become the best intern I can be? Of course. I will try my best to fit the most appropriate blogging schedule before I start working.
By this week, I will decide whether or not to transfer this blog to the WordPress platform, after consulting with others on Twitter about it last night. I thought about leaving Blogger, but the new template designer caught my eye and dissolved all previous thoughts about joining WordPress. Now I want to expand my community with other bloggers online. Blogger is not giving me that community leverage and commitment I need and its new FTP changes). I love Google, but I need a change.
I have two important questions to ask you:
1. What advice would you give someone who is reentering the workforce/corporate America after being unemployed for several months?
2. Now that I know that importing my blog to WordPress is a good strategic move to expand my personal brand, if I do leave Blogger, will you follow me onto my new platform? Do you think I am making the right decision?

As someone who uses blogger on her own personal domain, I am obviously going to support what you are leaning towards.
I'm only just visiting your blog for the first time but I like your way of thinking.
My blog is a personal blog. I don't use my blog for business or networking. It's just my own personal outlet but I fully support and understand how it is the better choice in a situation such as yours.
Gah, and I meant as someone who uses Wordpress on her own personal domain. I just woke up, sorry.
@Caity Thank you for support. I am hearing bad things about this FTP change with Blogger like my blog could get deleted if it is reported as spam to Blogger. I do not want that to happen. I have an new WP account, I am going to play with it this week.
If you're going for a self-hosted blog then you should definitely move to Wordpress. Otherwise, personally, I would stick to Blogspot. Nowadays, many tutorials on how to improve your Blogspot blogs are being shared online. You want a forum on your Blogspot blog? Check this link: http://bloggerstop.net/2010/02/add-forum-to-your-bloggerblogspot-blog.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Bloggerstopnet+(BloggerStop.net)&utm_content=Google+Reader
If you don't want to pay for a domain then Blogspot is the ideal platform since you can customise or create a new template. On the Wordpress platform, customisation is limited for a free blog.
If you're buying a domain and need help with FTP, hit me up. I'll find tuts for ya! ;p
But Johanna, starting May 1st, Blogger is no longer supporting FTP support. My question to you is what is FTP? =/
FTP is file transfer protocol. I think Blogger means that you won't be able to use your own domain name on the Blogger platform. At least I think so. I'll need to look it up. ;p
@Johanna Oh ok. I am still confused. I keep hearing that Blogger will shut down blogs that have been reported as spam. I'm a bit scared. I'm mis formed and scared. lol.
