Succumbing to WordPress
I started this blog four years ago when I was also first learning Ruby on Rails. I had the idea that I would learn something by using a Rails blogging platform, but mostly I learned that running small blogging platforms is not the sort of fish I want to fry.
After updating Typo a year ago, I finally got so fed up that I tried the wp_export.rb script at http://www.slashdotdash.net/2009/01/02/migrating-this-blog-from-typo-to-wordpress/, and, voila, I have a new platform.
It seems to have confused tags with categories, however, and I still need to fix the redirects from the old site, but the responsiveness of WP is enough to help get blogging again (instead of getting frustrated). I’m not a big fan of PHP, but if it gets the job done, then I’ll use it.
