Stable Condition
Good news! As you can see, all ~2800 blog posts have made the journey to the new blog software. Here's a peek at the top of my priority list for the next steps:
1. Bring back the categories and assign them to all ~2800 posts
2. Migrate photos
3. Get away from the default theme and either go back to what I had before or come up with something new.
4. Rewrite all the little add-ons I had like the Moblog display, random photo, Facebook status, etc.
It took me about five hours to get this far. The posts took a little longer than I thought because I was very careful to make sure the posts all kept their same URLs. This is important if you ever use a search engine to find my posts and it's also important for all the times I link to old posts when I'm writing. I'm not sure that I'll be able to pull off that same magic with the photos but I'm slightly less concerned about those. The downside to changing URLs for the photos is that it means any time I reference a photo gallery photo in my post, that will be a dead link. We'll see what I can come up with...
Oh and you may also have noticed that comments didn't survive the trip. I might try to add them back in, but honestly that's low on the list. I love getting your comments but getting them all reattached to the right posts is not a trivial task. Please keep the comments coming!!
