		<description>I&#039;m not sure if you&#039;ve decided yet or not, but this is timely for me so I thought I&#039;d throw in my two cents.

I&#039;ve just today set up my blog on my own hosting site.  I&#039;m very pleased with how it&#039;s turned out and even though I don&#039;t know that much about the hosting/server side of the tech world, I managed to do it!  

I use Godaddy.com for my hosting and while *their* website is a little hard to navigate, their customer service is top-notch.  When I had no idea what to do with the PHP and SQL errors, they straightened it out for me in less than ten minutes and had me up and running.

I also decided to switch to Wordpress after over two years with Blogger.  I like how open it is and the themes that are available are plentiful.

Hope that was useful to you.</description>

		<description>I have also just recently paid for my blog to be ad free through Edublogs. I couldn&#039;t stand the intrusive and random graffiti on the site. Spread over a year the cost didn&#039;t seem too bad but in one hit- out of my salary- it did. 

I, like you, don&#039;t want to have to spend hours and hours wandering the wilderness of transferring posts elsewhere else. I know clever people do it but I&#039;m not one of them.

By paying for the blog to be ad free I am also allowing students to have their blogs ad free as well- a bit of a bonus really.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s what I did with an older blog that I moved to a domain (which I&#039;ve since abandoned) I just left up one last post as a sign to my visitors. But, if you post about moving enough, most people will get the picture I would think.</description>

		<description>You are not alone...the battle is being waged in my school as well. GoogleDocs, of all things is blocked, because people not on our network can edit it. Why have the internet at all?</description>

		<description>Hi Tom,

I made the decision last summer to move from Edublogs to a self hosted site and I&#039;ve never looked back. The transition was very easy, updates are automatic, and I can create my own look and feel. However, the biggest pluses have been that it always works and that it loads quickly. If you move, why not leave your &quot;old&quot; blog in place as it is and simply write one final post telling folks where you&#039;ve moved to? Hopefully, they&#039;ll quickly edit their rss feeds and follow you to your new home. Good luck to you!</description>

		<description>Hi Tom, 

I have been following your blog for the past six months and have found it extremely inspiring and having read all the positive testimonials during the &#039;edublog awards&#039; I&#039;m not alone. In fact a lesson that I designed and used today was generated from one of your posts on using Google Earth in your classroom.  I found your blog through another edublog that was linked to another edublog that was linked to another edublog… 

Mate you belong to a community of edubloggers!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t doubt for a minute your ability to get to grips with the behind the scenes stuff - I&#039;ve followed your blog and wiki posts for a long time now :-)

I think what I meant was that if you don&#039;t want to spend the time &#039;rolling your sleeves up&#039; then there are people out there who&#039;ve done that anyway and would be more than willing to help.

About the moving from Edublogs debate goes - I&#039;m wondering if you moved to a self-hosted blog, would it load more quickly? I know that I stopped embedding google docs in my own Edublogs blog because of the amount of time that it took for the page to then load.

Recently, I was keen (on another whim!) to link to your &#039;ways to use a whiteboard&#039; google doc. in a meeting .... it was a long, long, long time before it was available :-)

I realise that schools have a slower connection than, but I&#039;ve noticed that Edublogs does take a longer time to load (sometimes they undergo maintenance, and this can mean painfully slow loading ... but I&#039;m talking more generally here).

Is this an issue that you think might sway your decision - just a thought?</description>

		<description>John - thankyou, I know you have shared that offer with me directly in the past and I appreciate it very much.

Yes Googling my name is no good, but I am the Mayor of Milwaukee  you know? :-)</description>

		<description>Hi David - many thanks for sharing your thoughts and yes you are probably correct, I would end up exploring all sorts of aspects of self-hosting.

I appreciate your advice and its good to know that you would be willing to help.</description>
