The XML sounds very helpful, especially since I'm probably going to be a lower priority for Google to spider since I no longer use Blogger. I don't actually use Firefox (for shame, I know), but I'll keep Scribefire in mind if I ever switch. @Leafshine: Thank you for pointing that out. I've made a correction to the template so that it's more obvious. I was first clued into the fact that something might be wrong when the wrong comments were showing up on the wrong posts! @Matticus: Thank you for additional recommendations!!

A very wise decision! http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/ If you want traffic, you'll want the Google XML auto-making-plugin thingy. It sets up all your pages to be read by most search engines. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1730 If you use firefox and want to skip the entire step of having to log in to your admin page to make posts, grab the scribefire addon. It'll automatically publish from your browser. Otherwise, you're set! Feel free to ask me or any of the other Wordpriests if you hit any problems. I'm sure they wouldn't mind helping either.

This list of plugins will no doubt be a ton of help. I look forward to checking each one out. I did install the stats plugin and one that displays recent comments (down at the bottom of the page). But the ones for comment editing and a new editor sound great!! Thank you again! =) Thank you so much, Kestrel!! This list of plugins will no doubt be a ton of help.

I think it won't be long before you're even happier with your decision. I don't know a thing about coding CSS or php, but I've been able to change a few things in my theme with some trial & error. I'd be happy to try to answer any questions you might have. As for plugins, be sure you enable Akismet. It's a great spam-catcher! As for plugins, here are a few suggestions: 1. Get a better editor. The default is wimpy at best. A good free one is WP SuperEdit, http://www.funroe.net/projects/superedit/ 2. Of course you want to track your site stats: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/ 3. If you want to give your readers (and/or yourself) the ability to edit comments, http://www.raproject.com/wordpress/wp-ajax-edit-comments/ 4. And if you want to display recent comments in a sidebar, http://blog.jodies.de/archiv/2004/11/13/recent-comments/ (be sure you disable the built-in widget). Play with widgets--they really give you a lot of flexibility over your site layout. Welcome to WP! :) Congrats on the move, Phaelia!
