For the search problem, try changing the action in your theme's searchform.php to <code><?php bloginfo('home'); ?></code>; of course, if it's already set that way, then never mind. ;) My mod_rewrite fu isn't the best, but these rules might work: RewriteRule index.php/.* - [L] RewriteRule feed/(.*).xml index.php/feed/$1 [L] RewriteRule (.*) index.php/$1 I believe you'll have to append them after the <code># END WordPress</code> line, and it's possible the default WordPress rules make the first line unnecessary.

For the search problem, try changing the action in your theme’s searchform.php to <?php bloginfo('home'); ?>; of course, if it’s already set that way, then never mind. ;)

My mod_rewrite fu isn’t the best, but these rules might work:

RewriteRule index.php/.* – [L]
RewriteRule feed/(.*).xml index.php/feed/$1 [L]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php/$1

I believe you’ll have to append them after the # END WordPress line, and it’s possible the default WordPress rules make the first line unnecessary.

Some possibly-unhelpful links: http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/38731 It is also possible to simply leave your Blogger entries as such and have a Before and an After in your blog history. That’s what I did (static files in the distant past, WordPress now). In theory you can include a link to your new RSS in your old one if you can manually edit it, which I doubt.

It's really the content that counts... and you've got good content. That being said, I'd love to hear what WP widgets you find most useful. No real advice, sorry, other than keep it simple.

I am sure there is a technorati widget for Word press though. I have no wordpress-fu, so I guess I can’t really help you too much anymore.
