I Have Arrived
Here I am at my spiffy new location!
I posted about the possibility of the move from my Blogger blog just recently, however I originally started looking at getting my own domain about six or seven months ago. I did reasearch on hosting options at that time, but I decided to postpone the decision so that I could deliberate.
My usual gaming bloggery will commence forthwith.
I have a few more administrative tasks to do before everything is configured exactly the way I want it, but these things will take place over time.
Things to do:
- Install WordPress
- Import old posts and comments from Blogger blog
- Get StatCounter plugin
- Get Technorati tags plugin
- Get Technorati tags plugin to work
- Get BloglinesReader plugin
- Get BloglinesReader plugin to work (PHP skillz lacking, gave up; maybe I will revisit this later)
- Categorise all old posts (time-consuming)
- Update URLs of images in old posts (relatively time-consuming)
- Update URLs in old posts which reference other posts (extremely time-consuming, unsure if I should bother)
- Edit template to display date and time in my preferred order
- Add links to sidebar
- Add “Meta” section to sidebar
- Add “Syndicate” section to sidebar
- Add information to “About” page
- Claim blog on Technorati
- Tell LiveJournal to update syndication feed address
- Update web site address information on all profiles, everywhere
- …?






Well done you. What a good feeling it must be!
Congrats on the new blog! One suggestion from a fellow WordPress user is to change your permalinks to actually use the post names (helps for searching and stuff) – set it under Options->Permalinks.
Interesting. Having a RSS feed for comments is nice – the Blogspot comment support is rather lacking.
Thanks, Alice!
Thanks, Tara!
I’ll think about the permalink suggestion.
Congrats on the new site. :D
