WordPress to Drupal: Cut over


By admin - Posted on 21 October 2008

Besides working on the patio here at the house (expect a posting soon), I've been pondering what the best way is to cut over from my old WordPress blog to my new Drupal blog/web site. Given that I'd like to see if things like MyBlogLog can still find my postings, I'm going to finish migrating my blog content to Drupal by re-posting the old articles. This will probably start happening in early October since I have some personal travel coming up that will keep me away from my computer for a while.

In addition to bringing over my old content, I'll also be updating the artwork for the header. The default, Giordani, artwork is nice but I like the idea of relating the header artwork to my byline. Finally, given the small amount of traffic I've seen at my WordPress blog, I'll probably not bother bringing over any existing users. If this presents a problem for anyone, please reply to this posting. Once all of my content has been migrated I will remove my WordPress blog since I don't see any point in attempting to maintain something I'm not using.

As for plans, after all of my old content has been migrated and I'm sure that the site is being "found," I want to publish the book I wrote as a Drupal book with a Creative Commons attribution license.

Cheers,
Dave
