I'll try to answer you. You need to follow instructions from Moving to WordPress.org You'll need some plugin which enables multi language blog, like some from this or this lists.

Dear Sadish
I am such a big fan of your themes. Especially Misty Look as it is really romantic and lovely. I set up my blog awhile ago (http://tomoecooper.wordpress.com) and just learned how to have it hosted (http://www.LetLoveTouchYou.com).

Q1: Do I have to copy and paste all the contents from my old blog to the new one or is there any other easier way? And…

Q2: About internationalization… I am a novice here so I am not sure if it’s in line with what you’re discussing here but I want to have a site in Japanese along with my English site (and have a button to click on an English flag with English and Japanese flag for Japanese). Would you know anyone who can help me with this? Can you?

Thanks Ravi.

I will be glad if you work on translating this theme to Tamil, my mother tongue. Let me know once you are done, I will put it online for all fellow tamilians.

Sadish, I have seen many (including me) using mistylook theme as default and there are no tamil themes for self-hosted blogs. If it is ok for you, I can volunteer to translate starting with Mistylook and see whether we can easily replicate the work for your other themes.

Thanks

Milan,

People enter some descriptive text about their site, as their tag line. Most often this contains the right keywords associated with their site.

I thought it will be best to display them as description and keywords for their site. That is why I added those lines in the header.php.

I do not understand how this will affect the SEO in any negative way.
Please take this as a new discussion in our forums, as this is going too much off-topic from this post.

Sorry, I got mixed up with title tag, description and keywords… What you are saying is absolutely true!

I though about lines with description and keywords (see below), not title line, and I don't see any value of this for any user (but I see negative value, since description is sometimes shown in SERPs, so it could affect lower CTR on links to your links, and this is not SEO, this is usability).

Yeah, but there are many people out there which haven’t even heard about SEO. For all those the title tags will look strange, if you remove the lines so I would keep them…
Or Sadish could offer special SEO-themes in the future, together with a plugin. I think this could be a lucrative niche
(Just joking)
But for example, this guy (http://www.wpseo.us) started to take 20 â‚¬ if you want to use his seo plugin on “commercial” websites/blogs…
