Moving website operations from Weebly to WordPress
After a few weeks of working to get this website up and running, it seems like I’ve done it! In the past, I’ve made a website for my old channel, MrJacon000 on Weebly in late 2015. Both websites have similarities in terms of web design, but with WordPress, there’s more freedom in customizing a website compared to Weebly. For the past year or so on Weebly, I’ve noticed the website looks poor when viewing it on a mobile device, like a smartphone or tablet. For example, let’s say you went to my old website and you’re greeted with my homepage that is misformatted and quite unreadable. When viewing it on a desktop, everything would look clear as it should. What’s unfortunate, I’m unable to import all of my previous blog posts from my old website and put them here is because I need a “Business” level subscription that costs $33/month to make that happen. Even though, I’m going to register this website’s domain when my domain and yearly subscription expires on Weebly. Going forth about my subscription, when I had the old channel, I registered my domain and purchased a one-year subscription to Weebly’s basic plan for $8/month on top of registration fees for an additional $20. Currently, I have to live with paying their subscription for the next 7 months until the domain is up for renewal. Once that window closes in, I will shut down the domain and hopefully downgrade to a free Weebly website, not a paid one.
For this new website, what you’re going to see is kind of similar to the old one. It’s got my channel’s latest video along with a randomly generated video, blog posts similar to this, and a detailed about me page which gives a history lesson about my time on YouTube. There will be improvements to this website over time as I learn more about the capabilities that WordPress has to offer. All that I can say about this website is that it’s a start. Just like the last one that I’ve made over 6 years ago.
