After over more then a year of switching CMS from a Ruby on Rails system back to PHP, back and forth, I hope I have finally settled down. While working Froggy Studio I choose WordPress for the backend moving away from Textpattern. Since WordPress overhauled their back-end I have come to like it better then before. The automatic updates makes it so much easier then manually updating each time.
So once I got started with WordPress I decided to take all my old weblog content from 2003 till now and arrange them in WordPress format and import then in WordPress. After some PHP coding due that my oldest content had different date/time. After some code hacking I managed to get 5 years of content in WordPress. Only the category assignment is a pain. I used a batch plugin but it’s not working good.
So most content is uncategorized till I figure out a easy way. Meanwhile the other ones are categorized under “Oldies”. And off course internal links in those old post are broken. Images are still there, so it’s word browsing the old content. It felt weird reading stuff from 2003, so much has happened and changed.
Finally I have yet to import my latest weblog design into WordPress template, so meanwhile the universal Kubrick theme will have to do. My current design is back on the Photoshop board to expand it a bit to accomodate categories, comments, etc. I hope to have it done soon.
So there you go, darice.org content is available form the beginnings till present!
