Yesterday, I got it in my head that I’ve be happy moving my blogging over to the free hosting at wordpress.com, and it didn’t work out so well, since I tripped over a bug that confused me. It was fixed pretty quickly by most measures, but I got impatient, and started thinking about what I was doing. It made the most sense to move the whole site over to a WordPress-friendly host. So here I am, after moving my blosxom blog over to Yahoo! Web Hosting. I did not have to pull a total all-nighter (and when you are changing DNS entries, it’s best to put some space between the update and when you start tinkering a lot).
In a few subsequent posts, I’ll describe some tips and tricks that I learned along the way in case it helps anyone else:
- Moving jepstone.net from he.net to Yahoo!
- Importing my blosxom entries
- Recategorizing the WordPress entries
- Setting up a semi-intelligent script to figure out where old permalinks should go
