Over the last week, I took a hiatus from writing my weekly post and have been preparing to migrate the blog platform from TypePad to WordPress. I am very excited to say that the change went live about 45 minutes ago, and so far it looks like everything went to plan.
Even though this is a pretty small site, there were still a fair number of details to consider to ensure that all of the content got transferred over OK without breaking any links, affecting my search engine rankings, etc. I still have a couple of minor loose ends to tie up, but all things considered I think it went pretty well.
Why did I make the move? TypePad is a great platform, but I wanted more flexibility and customization and you really can’t beat what WordPress offers in that area. So far I have to say that I think WordPress rocks, and I know I have barely scratched the surface. I am really excited to see what else it can do. (And as far as the blog’s content is concerned, I plan to write in more detail about the transition as well as my ongoing experiences using WordPress.)
So now that the heavy lifting is completed, my focus will get back to producing some new content for ya! Barring any unforeseen issues, you should see a new post later this week.
Thanks!
