Blogger vs WordPress Blog

re: changing a .wordpress.com site title

The top level domain here is wordpress.com and all sites hosted here on on .wordpress.com sub domains. The site title and the URL of the wordpress.com sub domain do not have to be the same.

1. You can use the theme customizer to change a site title under site identity https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

2. The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. >Dashboard > Settings > General ... "save changes".

http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

* You will have to replace NAME_OF_BLOG withe the actual name of the blog in that URL.

That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it's better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

After last week's news that WordPress is abandoning React due to its unfavorable patents clause, the discussion regarding the selection of a new framework is heating up again. As Vue is once again among the leading contenders, I reached out to Vue.js creator Evan You to get his perspective on the possibility of WordPress adopting the framework.

"Yes, I had a conversation with the WordPress team mostly answering questions they had about Vue," You said. "The discussion happened before Matt's announcement of moving away from React. It was mostly intended for filling the team in with the state of Vue and there was no particular conclusion made from it.

"To be honest, I got the feeling that the team had already decided to go with React and simply wanted to explore other options before they make the final call. I was a bit surprised by Matt's post, but also understand the concerns behind that decision. I think React is a technically sound choice, and the whole patent issue is unfortunate."

Vue is back in the mix alongside Preact.js and other libraries WordPress core contributors are considering adopting. You has been active in the comments on the WordPress core development blog during the previous discussion, as well as more recently in the discussion in Gutenberg's GitHub repo, clarifying misconceptions about the financial stability of the project.

You has been careful to disclose his bias when participating in conversations about which framework WordPress should adopt. During my interview with him, he offered the community three reasons why he sees Vue as a good fit for the project:

"Now that WP has decided to pick a different framework, as the creator of Vue, I surely hope that the WordPress team can adopt Vue," You said. "Below is why I believe Vue would be a good fit for the choice:

Evan You and six others from the Vue.js core team will be participating in an AMA on Hashnode at 12PM on September 20, inviting general questions about the project, how to use it and contribute, and general programming advice. The questions are already rolling in and their answers should provide more information about the future of Vue and its place in the wider JavaScript ecosystem.

WP Tavern has also reached out to Jason Miller, creator of Preact.js to get his perspective on the possibility of WordPress selecting Preact and what it would mean for both projects. The React-alternative is another strong contender among JS libraries WordPress is looking at for use in core.

The Gutenberg team has been working to ensure that WordPress developers will be able to create "Gutenblocks" using any JS library they prefer with different explorations of framework-agnostic block rendering. Ultimately, this would make creating plugins and themes less dependent on the library that is chosen for use in core. Other community members involved in the discussion, however, are keen to emphasize that the framework selected will have an impact on the greater WordPress product ecosystem, far beyond its use in Gutenberg, and are not eager to down play it as a simple technical decision. We'll have a more detailed look on that in a separate post.

In addition to the discussions on independent blogs, the Gutenberg GitHub issues queue and the #core-js channel on WordPress Slack are both hosting active conversations on the upcoming decision. This week's core JavaScript chat has been cancelled due to many of those involved traveling or unable to attend. The agenda for the next meeting is to discuss the role a JavaScript framework will play in current and future core focuses (including but not limited to the Gutenberg editor). This meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 26, 2017, 8:00 AM CDT.

Hello.

Does anybody know how exactly is working import from Blogger?

For example, I am importing blogger blog in wordpress blog today and I will import it another one time after month (with new posts and comments in both blogs).

Will old posts and comments duplicated, replaced or mixed and updated?

I recently moved my group blog from WordPress.org to WordPress.com. I have also repointed my domain name to the new WordPress.com site.

Now I am trying to connect so that new blog posts will show up on Twitter and Facebook. I am getting an error message saying my Jetpack is out of date. If I am on WordPress.com isn't my Jetpack always up to date? Not sure what to do next.

The blog I need help with is maineclambakemysteries.com.
