Jackie,

If you only need the very basics, wordpress.com is probably the way to go, because it’s hard to get a better deal than free:-)

But if you do want a blog with the customization flexibility, it’s hard to think of a provider with better support and easier conversion than what John provides.

I've looked at Press Harbor and last year's announcement to blogharbor users. I've decided, though, that the platform and the host is not what I need right now - I only need a blog to keep in touch with my loved ones far away. So I'll startf rom scratch when my sbiscription runs out and develop my new wordpress blog. All the best for PressHarbor. I will certainly look into it again should I want to create my own website. Jackie John

While the Blogware platform is no longer under active development, we - the folks who built BlogHarbor - have been busy growing our PressHarbor Wordpress platform for over a year now and have many happy users, including some BlogHarbor and Blogware migratees... If you really are a BlogHarbor user, we've been telling all our users how to migrate to PressHarbor Wordpress for the last year. There's a link to the info right in your control panel...

I've been thinking about leaving blogharbor for a while but could't find anything I really liked and also didn't wnt to lose the blog. I have signed up with wordpress, but unfortunately haven't been able to import my blog from blogharbor. Have you got any tipps? I exported it successfully and it sits on my harddrive as an .xml file Disappointing to hear you confirm that blogharbor is not thriving and not developing. Your post has helped enormously.

But as you state, Tucows' Blogware is far from a thriving platform, and none of the limitations that SJR sees in Blogware will ever be fixed. So we strongly suggest that if there is something that is not working for you on Blogware, don't wait for it to be fixed because it likely will not: move your blog to Wordpress (preferably our PressHarbor platform!) as fast as you can. As Zoli says, you will be much better off. No, BlogHarbor is not closing and SJR is not being “forced” to move to PressHarbor.

Why, is Blogharbor closing? In any case, John provides great service, but there is only so much he can do on the basis of a dying platform (Blogware), so once you get used to it, you'll be much better off with Wordpress.
