WordPress Conversion Underway
April 3, 2008 News
WordPress 2.5 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.
