Back in 2004 I had a blog in wordpress that I kept for a class in university hosted on the school’s server. After graduating I decided to keep blogging and transferred that wordpress blog to my own wordpress. After being around the web industry for a while I decided to transfer my wordpress blog to drupal. The old blog was hosted on everybrandnewday.com (which is now offline). I have gone through many migrations of data and upgrades; however……
Last month I tried to upgrade to drupal 6. I did back up everything like everyone always tells you to. However, when everything failed to work and I was about to revert back to the old database….. That’s when I realized that the database zip file was actually corrupted. It failed to extract. After many struggle and painful times, I decided to ditch my drupal site and start over.
I had never left wordpress, I always had other blogs running on wordpress even when my personal site was on drupal. The new interface and functions won me over. I think it’s ok to have a wordpress site now.
I used the nifty tool in wordpress to import the latest posts from my old site using RSS. It’s quite a nice feature.
Anyways, so that’s it.
I have some old posts on my old blog that I really did enjoy writing, maybe I will copy and paste them over when I run out of new ideas to write. I hope my new ideas and thoughts can keep you entertained as much as I did before.
