Blog moved.

Posted by ijonas in Uncategorized Dec 24th, 2006 | 2 responses

Ok. So I’ve moved the blog content and shifted the DNS records.

The pain in the ass was moving the content. Although there’s several ways of importing content into WordPress there’s bugger-all means to get the content out of Typo. I tried the RSS route but that failed. You need to use WXR, which is WordPress’ namespace-extended RSS and generating a feed in that vernacular was too much of a pain. In the end, I ended up cutting-and-pasting the content, which is slightly ironic/embarrasing for someone in charge of technology at a company that develops and sells content migration software.

Vamosa’s software is the “Rolls Royce” of content migration software. It’d be nice if we can get it to shift 50 pages as easily as it is to shift 50,000 pages of content.

    Hey Apoorv,

    I know we do good stuff but there’s always room for improvement, wether that’s at the top-end or as in this case the bottom-end: everyone has the problem of content migration.

    Hope all is well you. Take care,
    Ijonas.
