I’ve done it!
Thanks to everyone who has told me to get my own hosting and the help that they have offered I have managed finally to export my blog to my own website.
I particularly found Dean Holland’s Blog Setup Guide which you can download free at www.deanholland.com really useful for doing that and following the video guide at www.Mat4.com helped me with the fantastico software. Dean has just posted that due to a wordpress update he needs to update his book, but I have just used it and managed to do what I needed to by clicking on the tools dropdown on the left hand side to find the export button and it worked OK for me.
I love these video guides! For a newbie like me I can have two tabs open, one with the video guide and one with my page so that I can follow each step, pause the video and do exactly what I’m told to do. Occasionally, I have to look a little further for some information but it is so good to have this kind of help. This is what a community is all about – picking up on things that we comment about and passing on the information to one another.
Right, I just need to sort out my theme again and how I set up a blogroll and other such things and then I shall be ready to go…

Hello, fellow student!
I’m trying to get round everyone on Alex list, but it’s a long job!
I’ve added your name to my list so if you ever have time, pop over and say “hi”. I can see you are pretty busy at the moment but it was a wise choice to get your own blog.
Good Luck and best wishes,
Jean Shaw

Hi Hilary,
love your theme! Is this the original one you chose? You mentioned on Mark Austin’s (I think) that you lost your one of choice in the transfer. I did too. You are further than me, I haven’t got my blog roll going yet. Please add me to yours, as I will you when I get going. This is really my fist time doing the rounds, and goodness there is just so much helpful, positive information. We are truely blessed to be with Alex Jeffreys – and he has a fantastic group to work with. Good Luck.Cecilia
