Premature migration to WordPress
I was planning to do a slow migration, importing things and testing things out with a seamless transition in DNS. Unfortunately, while trying to import posts from the original Blogger blog, things got messed up and the blog in Blogger became inaccessible. To make matters worse, there’s currently a problem with custom domain names in Blogger, so I couldn’t even change it back to a blogspot address. This is what I get for trying to migrate blogging platforms without changing domain names. (sigh)
Because the blog in Blogger has become inaccessible, I’m ending up prematurely making the WordPress blog public. This was done at the cost of all of the comments stored at IntenseDebate (I should have checked that they had the ability to import comments that have been exported to XML), and the sidebar is still a mess while the favicon is still missing. Apologies to everyone who lost their comments!
I just hope that any other migrations don’t have as many problems. Although with Blogger’s problems with custom domains, I don’t dare try any transitions in the meantime.
