Hi All,

I'm new here and very new to serendipity, I currently have a wordpress site which is focused on

toddler girl clothing

Can any of your serendipity experts, tell me what is the relative merits of serendipity in comparison with wordpress, and what would you say the major advantages of using serendipity would be?

Any feedback will be most welcome, and thanks in advance for helping a newbie :-)

Hi!

Is this a serious question, or are you a spambot? :-)

Regards,

if it is serious:

Is there any problem you have with WP? Or are you missing something? Should something work better for you?

What are your wishes to WP or S9Y?

As there is a link to affiliate-marketing on the site, this probably isn't a serious question...

"Probably." Right. That's like saying it's probably a bad idea to jump out of a plane without a parachute.

Hey, you do not say that the plane is in the air! :D

I wouldn't jump from a grounded plane, either. But that's just me.

Hello,

I am so new here that I have not even installed Serendipity yet.I do not how to download and install yet either because I need to know a few things first.

My question concerns the possibility of doing this:
Welcome to the Serendipity import utility.
Here you can import entries from other weblog software applications.

Please select the software you wish to import from:
Do I understand correctly,that I can import the archives from Wordpress that I currently have to Serendipity?

I might want to transfer from Wordpress to Serendipity,then delete Wordpress database from my cPANEL.

My main intent would consist of posting several news articles and commenting on them daily.

I am not a troll like the first poster is in the thread.

Garvin
