    @slaterbakh, who was your last host and who is your current host… some hosts are helpful and can help you out with such transfers, especially if you buy a VPS or something…

    If you are a bit experienced with wordpress and mysql, doing a wordpress transfer is not that hard… keep us updated,
    cheers,

    You need a better theme, this one has a lot of problems… the sidebar on the homepage is absent, the background is dark and does not looks good. Too many reasons really to get a different theme…

    apart from that, i would suggest you to keep the text color to black and stick with it. The green/orange/gray combination is a bit unfriendly to the eyes.

    keep the blog updated,
    cheers,

    It is a clean theme, simple and loads quickly. I like the way the date is displayed, on a blog like yours which is updated freequently, it is a good idea. Here are a few things you can improve on,

    1) Get a logo, a brandable logo is the face of your blog, it will help you to make a brand out of your blog.

    2) Use feedburner for feeds,

    3) Good to see the twitter and facebook page, social media always helps. Also, Nice to see voting buttons places at the end of your articles.

    4) Add a title, your current title does not says much about your blog.

    overall, you got a good blog, keep it updated,
    cheers,

    It sounds all good so far. To enter your phpmyadmin you will require a login and password. Hope you have it. I guess those details are available in your config.php file…

    anyway, once you are in the phpmyadmin, you have to select the database and do an export and you will have your sql file that you can instantly download on your computer…

    It is easy, but since you have not done this in the past, i suggest you to go to youtube.com and watch a few videos of how phpmyadmin works. It should help you…

    cheers,

    The only option i see here is, go to google.com
    in the search box, put cache:http://wawyblog.t15.org/

    try to recover as many articles as you can, and move on to a paid webhost, buy a domain… and make a good blog,

    cheers,

    The design/theme of your blog is perhaps on of the very best i have seen in a long time. A very professional looking blog, brandable logo, good content and loads quick too.

    Here are a few suggestion to improve it further.

    1) Get a title, if your blog is a news blog, mention it on the title.

    2) Optimize your images. Use image file names which are related to the image. also use alt tags for the images. When you upload an image using wordpress you get all the options to fill up the details for the image, that way the image gets more optimised for search engines,

    3) Get some social media buttons for your blog posts, the facebook share, stumbleupon, twitter etc. voting buttons helps a lot to get your content promoted on the social media.

    4) try writing as much unique content as possible, keep the blog updated everyday with atleast one, quality and unique article.

    5) use feedburner for your subscribers,

    keep it updated,
    cheers,

    Quite a lot of blogs you have made, but i just went through some of your articles, and they are good. Nice list based posts you have got… overall, it is all looking good.

    I would suggest you to get a good brandable theme, a nice looking logo to make a brand out of your blog network. the current theme you are using is very simple…

    On the whole, your idea is good. If you can come up with quality and unique content from time to time, then surely your traffic will increase and part of that traffic will sign up on your forums too.

    keep it updated,
    cheers,

    Nice and clear theme, loads fast. Overall, it is a very simple looking theme. I would suggest you to get a logo for your blog, a brandable logo helps a lot. Apart from that, you can get a twitter profile and a facebook fan page, that way you can promote your content on the social media.

    Overall, you got some good content on the blog, keep it updated,
    cheers

    @blueamulette, home page of a blog is usually updated, a fresh homepage ranks good too… You are displaying your about page on the homepage, would suggest you to show your latest post on the homepage…

    If you integrate a social stream, facebook/twitter then it will not NOT static… because the updates from the social sites will be displayed on your homepage, or the sidebar..

    You need a facebook fan page to do that. Once you have a facebook fan page, you can configure your blog feeds to automatically get posted on your fan page wall, i guess it should be the “notes” menu of the fan page from where it is done..

    cheers,

    In the “Appearance” menu on the sidebar, inside your wordpress admin panel, you will find the editor. You can edit your theme files there, you will find the header and the footer files there…

    I guess there are plugins to do what you want, about the user details getting auto imported to your other blog… would suggest you to Google it…

    You have a good domain, very brandable. Would suggest you to get a logo for your homepage. Anyway, here are a few more suggestions.

    1) Select a friendly permalink structure, your blog currently has the default link structure, select something like /%postname%/

    2) You got just one post on your blog, you keep to write more, and keep it updated…

    3) I see that you got a twitter profile, i would suggest you to get a facebook fan page as well.

    Your blog is new and it requires a lot of work, keep it updated,
    cheers,

    Am not much into politics and that blog does not have anything much to look at… just one post which has a video… so will pass it. Talking about your other blog, the loading time of this one is very slow. I don’t know if you got a header image or logo, because it did not load.

    Here are a few suggestions anyway:

    1) Use friendly link structure, currently you are using the default link structure, would suggest you to go to your permalinks option under settings and put something like /%postname%/ in it.

    2) Your sidebar is a bit empty, try adding something there, perhaps some social widgets or your best posts etc. to make it look fuller.

    3) For improving your homepage loading time, try putting “read more” links after the first paragraph. That way, the whole post won’t be available on the homepage and it will improve the page loading.

    Overall your blog is new and it needs a lot of hard work to make it popular,
    keep it updated,
    cheers,

    Simple and clean theme, however you can still improve on the page loading. Here are a few suggestions.

    1) Get a logo, it gives your blog a brand value.

    2) Try writing longer articles, but don’t let that affect your home page’s loading times. Use – “read more” tags so that only the first paragraph of every post be displayed on the homepage.

    3) About the ads on the posts, would suggest you to put the ads surrounded with text on all sides. That way it looks good, and the CTR is also better.

    4) I see a facebook like button on the post page, perhaps you can also add some more buttons like twitter, stumbleupon etc.

    5) Make a facebook fan page and a twitter profile for your blog. That helps to promote your content on the social media.

    6) Remove the captcha from your comments form. If you are worried about spam, use akismet and bad-behavior type of plugins which stops the spam pretty good.

    keep it updated,
    cheers,

    @wawyblog, one of those reasons why we suggest people to get a quality, paid, web hosting account..

    Your latest posts on the homepage are of 10th September, so i guess it is updating properly… perhaps it could be your cache, try removing all browser cache and see if it helps. are you using a caching plugin for your blog? if so, disable it and see if that works… i recommend wp-super-cache plugin, you can try that…
