Welcome to the new blog!
July 15th, 2007 | Published in Uncategorized
As you will have undoubtedly figured out - this blog moved! I’ve moved it off of Typepad, and onto Wordpress. I’ve been rather impressed by how easy Wordpress was to set up and use, and how easy the migration process was. I’d recommend it to anyone.
To recap, I took the following steps:
- Set up my blog on a different domain (in this case, it was zenofnptech.com.)
- Choosing a theme
- Migrate the posts and comments (exporting it from typepad, importing into wordpress - all web gui based, very easy.
- Modifying a few things (see this link.) There are a few changes. Wordpress now uses dashes instead of underscores, so that’s something you don’t have to worry about. All importing requires now is just going to the Wordpress import tool and specifying the file. That’s all. You don’t have to worry about using mod_rewrite at all.
- Getting the varied blogrolls and badges, etc. copied over.
- Letting people know
- Changing the DNS of the old site (and changing the site on wordpress.)
- Done.
The feed should stay the same. If, for some reason, yours stops working, try this feed.
