New Blogging Software - WordPress 2.5

Posted by: admin In: Technology

I’ve installed WordPress v2.5 for this blog. I had been using SimplePHPBlog, which worked fine, because I didn’t have databases available on a previous server. Two servers later now, I wanted to take advantage of using the industry leading WordPress. The challenge was moving my old blog posts to the new WordPress installation. I found a Perl script that attempts to do this. It didn’t work with WP 2.5, although the problem may have been due to a categories issues other users had reported I attempted to import the original posts in WP 2.0, with the plan of upgrading to WP 2.5, but that didn’t work either. So, instead of wasting the whole afternoon troubleshooting this with the possibility that it may never work, I decided to start using WP 2.5 without importing. Instead I’m providing a link to the old blog. It would be nice to someday import the old posts here.
