It was the toughest decision for me take in my blogging journey. Migrating your blog from blogger platform to WordPress platform. But I took the decision and now my blog, TechBreach is a WordPress blog.
I started my blogging journey in late 2011 with a blogger blog. At that time I wasn’t even knowing what is the meaning of a blog and what blogging is all about. As a result, my first blog was a piece of junk and so I deleted it. But that gave me something. I found myself more interested in blogging than before. And my new journey started.
After getting failed at the first attempt, I decided to start off again, this time with proper knowledge and planning. I searched about blogging and found that it wasn’t just a 8 letter word. It was a complete ocean of opportunities. With little knowledge that I got, I started a computer blog (this blog itself) and named it All-for-computers.blogspot.in. Of course it was blogspot as i didn’t even knew of WordPress at that time.
I started posting about softwares and their cracks and applied for Adsense the very next day. I was such a fool; I got to know about this when in just two hours I got a mail telling that my application is rejected. LOL
Then again it was break time. I took a long break, like about 2 or 3 months; I don’t properly remember. But I started blogging again in like March 2012. The blogging was going slow but steady. That was the time I got introduced with other blogger through social networking sites. It completely changed my approach.
Now I decided to expand my blog and added some more niches, like the tech-related articles, social media and blogging related articles. That helped me in updating my blog more often.
Then I bought a custom domain name, TechBreach.net on 2nd May 2012, a day before the last PR update. Then I started some serious link building for my blog to get a good PR in the next update. I read about many methods to get backlinks but I preferred guest posting and blog commenting over other methods.
I commented a lot on many different blogs and did some 10 guest posts on some highly popular blog. This gave me some great backlinks and at the same time more exposure in the blogosphere. Now I can say that many people know me as a blogger.
Finally I decided to migrate my blog, TechBreach to WordPress and take it to a new level. I migrated to WordPress on 29th July, 2012. It was a smooth process because of some great tutorials I referred before migrating.

Thanks very much sir.
You have helped me a lot and so a mention was the only thing I could do for you at this moment
Hi Arbaz,
Perhaps, it’s my first comment at TechBreach.. Well, it’s first and is filled with Great Info, you and every new wordpress user must know! First, make your wordpress blog fully SECURE! And there are lots of plugins and ways to do that.. But, I’d like to post the link of article, that I think are enough useful for you.
WPBeginners – Lets you add a second layer of security of your Admin Panel: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-password-protect-your-wordpress-admin-wp-admin-directory/
And here are some plugins, I had been using on my Previous News Child Theme:
1. Generate Box (Makes your Landing Page looking awesome, and will help you to get more subscribers for your mailing list or feed subscribers
2. W3 Total Cache (you’ll need it’s WPBeginner guide to let it work properly)
3. WP-Optimize (removes post revisions, auto-draft posts etc.)
4. Genesis Favicon Uploader (it adds a powerful function to change favicon)
5. FeedBurner FeedSmith (redirects your feed)
6. SEO-Tool – Keyword Density Checker (will add a section in the edit post panel, where it lets you know about Keyword Density)
7. Twitter Facebook Social Share (Adds Social Sharing buttons to your blog posts, but needs some settings which can be done from Settings > TF Social Share)
8. WPtouch (A plugin which formats your site with a mobile theme for visitors on Apple iPhone / iPod touch, Google Android, Blackberry Storm and Torch, Palm Pre and other touch-based smartphones)
9. CommentLuv – You might already be knowing about it!
10. nrelate Related Content (Adds Related Posts below each post)
11. WP Smush.it (Reduce image file sizes and improve performance using the Smush.it API within WordPress.)
Now, here comes MUST HAVE Plugins, that you never should forget about adding! OK?
1. WordPress SEO by Yoast (The first true all-in-one SEO solution for WordPress, including on-page content analysis, XML sitemaps and much more. It is used by Mashable and others. You never should forget adding this one, Am using it too.)
2. WordPress Database Backup (auto backup database and sends it to your email, it’ll not be used by anything, but will be really (100%) useful in case your site gets hacked or any other database problem).
3. W3 Total Cache (The highest rated and most complete WordPress performance plugin. Dramatically improve the speed and user experience of your site. Add browser, page, object and database caching as well as minify and content delivery network (CDN) to WordPress).
The WP Plugins, I’ve mentioned above are all really necessary and I cannot live without them (kidding). Anyways, I’ve a Great experience in customizing News Child Theme.. And have customized it before for my own blog. But, now changed that to Streamline Child Theme by Genesis.
Thanks for MIGRATION. It was absolutely essential for you, and for bloggers like you who are yet using BLOGGER.COM!
I’m just after migration from BLOGGER to WordPress of my own blog, hates BLOGGER a lot, and never ask anyone to use that rubbish blogging platform.
Congratulations! You’ve got what you always MUST! Yes..
Thanks for mentioning me in the list of people helped you. Am really glad to see that!
Anyway, If you need any kind of help regarding News Child Theme or if you want any widget, plugin etc. Just knock me on Facebook or email me at: mairajpirzada@guideplease.com.
Thanks Friend.. Am too happy to see you migrating and getting PR 3..
Well, I’m really happy after this PageRank Update. I got PR 3 for Guide Please!. Hope you’ll get all things, you’ll need from Experienced bloggers like Amit Shaw is..
Little Tip: NEVER (ever) use a free theme or plugin that is taken from any other site, except WordPress’s own directory. Don’t use a theme, that is for free but is PREMIUM! they contain melicous code, that will let Hackers hack your blog!
Have a Good Day!
Now that is one hell of a comment.
Thanks for mentioning everything worth using.
Thanks for the plugins and congratulations that you too got a PR3. Let’s see who gets a higher PR in the next update
