WordPress Conversion Underway
WordPress 2.5 2.6 was released this week and it was so nice that I decided it was worth converting my old Joomla installation over to WordPress for the main Silicon Chisel site. Another incentive is that my personal blog is also in WordPress – as well as a few other sites I manage, so it just generally eases the maintenance load.
The first cut over went pretty well, aided by the “MAMBO2WORDPRESS IMPORT WIZARD“ script by Rodney Blevins which – with some modifications for table names and the like – at least allowed me to get the primary content into WordPress.
It will likely take another week or so to get everything settled in, and finalize the plugins – but then I should be able to get back to writing about technology. Some topics I plan to cover soon include:
- Reviews of the Mac web design packages RapidWeaver and Sandvox.
- A look at the “big three” content management systems – well, at least as far as I see it, anyway – Drupal, Joomla, and Wordpress.
- Some of the new Web 2.0 sites I’ve been beta testing.

Update: this is still an ongoing effort. A lot of the media from the old Joomla site still needs to be brought across, and the cross-links to reviews and so forth still needs to be connected. It’s kind of sad that the WordPress coders can crank out new versions of the system quicker than I can migrate my own site!
