WordPress, and One Step Closer
by Tony on Apr.19, 2009, under News @ Home
I just completed converting a blog of mine from Drupal 6 to WordPress. In my opinion, there is nothing better suited for blogging than that. I tried GeekLog, and moved to Drupal. GeekLog had issues, and Drupal was…. overkill. Unfortunately, there are no converters either. Given the capabilities of Drupal, I’m not really that surprised: Drupal is rarely used as “just a blog”. Again, it’s overkill for that. Considering my other site had about a dozen or so entries, I figured it would be less time consuming to just cut, paste & back date entries in WP, than try and find a converter, configure and tweak it and have it “not quite work”.
Oh, and apparently MySQL just released 5.1.34, which I’m now going to have to upgrade. At least there is no major upgrade hassle from 5.1.33 to 5.1.34
I’m combining all my blogs and letting the dozen or so random old sites go. In the end, I should have a personal blog, a professional blog, and a specialty blog which I have for kicks. I’m one step closer… (to the edge).
