Move Should Be Complete

posted in Site News |

The move from godaddy’s free hosting to my own multiple account on Site5 should be about 95% done right now, let me know if you find any broken links or come up with an error.

Importing the blogger site was much more difficult than I originally thought. Wordpress has an option to import from blogger, but apparently that hasn’t been worked on for the new blogger. They’ve only had months to work on it…

Anyway, after playing with importing feeds on comments and the posts, I imputed them all.

Then I had to set up redirects from the old file system in blogger to the new layout. That was a snap with .htaccess.  Much easier than setting up 301 redirects on an IIS situation or even in .asp, much easier.  I’m picking up this ‘nix stuff and working on the learning curve of .php, but so far pretty easy.  I’m not sure if I’ll be switching the ecommerce sites over to .php anytime soon, the tools I’ve written in Excel for Access would be rendered useless in the MySQL database’s, but maybe on a new digital download site I’m developing.
I’m not sold on the photo in the header yet, or even this template, but that’s an effort for another day.

If you liked this post please buy me a beer. Thanks.
