New Website Progress
Posted on 08 Nov 2008 in Internet
The switch to WordPress is going well. The multitude of a quality plug-ins and the ease with which you can hack at all the PHP to get it just right make WordPress an awesome choice – not yet regretting giving up on my old code. I’ve been writing XML export routines to transfer over 4,000 blog posts and comments going back 10 years, having some problems pulling in rich media posts the way I want them. Also haven’t quite figured out how I’m going to show my videos page yet, or how to handle redirects from old perma-links. Loving the Flickr Photo Album plug-in which makes excellent use of the Flickr API to suck all my albums, tags and pictures in from Flickr into my site. To have over 5,000 pictures completely externally managed yet so intricately threaded into my site is a credit to the Flickr API team – Flickr continues to be one of my favourite things on the web. Also very happy with the Media Temple Grid-Server hosting – it feels snappy and the control panels are the best I’ve seen ever from a hosting company.
