You know how when we want to start a new project or tackle a new “thing,” we always ask our friends for advice? Well sometimes that advice can get you into trouble….

See what happened to Technorati Top 100 blogger, Gala Darling as part of her guest post at ProBlogger

7. Before you start blogging, give serious thought to what your likely future plans may be.

When I started, the blogging platform I installed was chosen because it was something my friend was using. Now that I want to do grand things, I’ve realised that Textpattern (which has served me very well) is really not powerful enough. Thus, my geeky genius (*coughbeloved boyfriend *cough*) & I are faced with the daunting task of converting everything to Drupal — something it appears no one has ever done before, & to say we’re dreading it is the understatement of the century.

Yikes! Let’s all get started on a robust blogging software so you don’t have to do any of these conversions, OK?
