Wordpress conversion (mostly) complete

Posted by bitbud on November 14, 2008 under Bitbud Blog |

Welcome to the new bitbud.com  I have finally flipped the switch from Joomla to Wordpress, and I have to admit the new Wordpress 2.7 is sweet.  This is by far THE platform to use for a Blog.  I tried for several months each both Drupal and Joomla.  They are good CMS systems, but for blogging, the new Wordpress can’t be beat.  This really is making blogging MUCH easier for me.

I found a useful script that handled the importing of all my Joomla ‘articles’.  Sadly, none of the comments made it, but I may do that manually later.

There is still more work to do, most importantly handling redirects from the old Joomla links to the new Wordpress permalinks.  Also need to import my graphics, find a new template, and get my modules configured.

I’ll update this post with some more details on the script I used for importing later.

Enjoy!

    Are you using wordpress in a subdirectory of your website for the blog only, or did you install into the root directory?

    I setup a whole new server for WordPress. I installed it into the root directory of the server, as opposed to how some install into a ‘blog’ subdirectory.

    And I have to say… I should have been blogging using WordPress a long time ago. It is certainly a superior blogging platform.
