Nameservers performs the task of showing that your domain name is pointed to your wordpress blog.It takes around 12-48 hours to get your nameservers updated depending upon your domain name hosting company.You should enter the same addresses in your domain name nameservers as provided by your web hosting service.

To know whether your nameservers has been updated or not , take a frequent look of your blog in few gaps of time.If you blog address stops showing your old blogger blog then you can confirm that your domain name nameservers have been updated.

At first the permalink of your posts seems different from your old blogger style permalinks.The default permalink will look like http://www.yourblogname.com/?p=123.So you need to update this permalinks like the default blogger permalinks http://www.yourblogname.com/2009/11/sample-post/Post-title.html.For this Click Permalinks from your Settings Tab.Now you will need to select different styles for your permalinks.To make your Permalinks same like the blogger , Check the custom structure filed and enter the following code in the custom structure field and Click save changes.

Readers are your biggest god.In your life if god stops caring about you you will have a worst life likewise if your readers too stops caring you or stops visiting your blog your blog will experience a bad situation leading the lose of backlinks,Google ranking and other various aspects.So in this post we are taking about the different things that helps you make your readers visit your blog again and again.

1.   Fresh Updates

Who in his world like to eat rotten and outdated foods likewise there are no such person in this world who like to read your old posts again and again.So you must be able to understand the mind of your readers and should post fresh posts in your blog in the regular gap of time.

2.  Systematic posting

There are many events or events occurring in this world everyday so you will get more topics to post on your blog.Posting doesn’t mean just writing in your blog.Writing ten posts in a day and no more posts for a months that is the bad thing.You can post them in the systematic gap of time.You can use the feature provided by wordpress or blogger that helps you publish your written post at the time you want to post them.

3.  Stable blogdesign

Changing your blog theme twice or thrice a day directly hampers your blog.This will make bad impressions on your readers.So you mustn’t update your theme or template in short gap of time.It doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t change your theme but update them in long gap of time but you can add new features to your theme anytime.

4.  Dont make it go personal

Nobody likes to read your personal things in your blog like when you get up,with whom you had dinner,which movie did you watch today.Readers always search for those things which are esstential things not your personal things.So never try to be a superhero with the help of your blog.

5.  Listen to your readers

As I told above readers are your greatest gods.You must listen to them and drive your blog to that way which your readers like.To know what your readers like you can conduct a survey or poll in your blog.Fater you know your readers interest you can create more posts according to their will which make s them visit your blog again and again.

6.  Cooperate with your readers

This is the greatest ability that a blogger must have to turn himself iunto a successful blogger.You must reply the comments,email and other quests that your readers kept in your blog in a good way.This will make good impression on your readers which encourages your readers to visist your blog again and again.

The number of subscribers make a much more difference for a developing bloggers like us.It takes couple of months and very hard task to increase our subscribers but it takes just a few time to get it very down.The first thing that help you increase your subscribers is the trust that the readers make to your blog and the thing that creates trust to people is the quality of the post and good communication/interaction with the readers.

Likewise the main thing that makes you lose your subscribers is due to your carelessness towards your blog and decrease in your post quality.The same thing happen to me too,I lost my 300 suscribers in just two days and that is due to my carelessness.

During the process of transfer my blog from blogger to wordpress self host I made a great mistake carelessly or I was unknown to it.When I update my nameservers the original blogger feed submitted to feedburner also get changed.I was unknown to it.Feedburner stops showing my feeds and the blog was also not completely setup.Due to this reason our many regular and unique visitors got confused.And another get problem is the permalinks of the posts also get changed so after installation too our many users get 404 error messages.This is really very bad.

But this mistake don’t go waste for me,It gave me a really very useful lessons which might be useful in future.From next time I will be planning before I do any new jobs for my blog.Best of luck  for me.
