<p>I've finally gotten around to migrating the blog to Wordpress. While I'm still very happy with Personal Weblog it was getting a little long in the tooth and given <a class="reference external" href="http://www.livejournal.com/support/">Livejournal's ongoing problems with syndicated feeds</a> I thought it would be easier to host everything (including comments) on my site. You can see the very ugly migration script <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/stsquad/Personal-Weblog-to-Wordpress">on github</a>.</p> <p>The one remaining thing to do is code up some re-directs in the original news.php page so the syndicated feed still slurps up something, but there is no rush I guess seeing as LJ isn't currently paying attention.</p> <p><strong>EDIT TO ADD:</strong>Well LJ may not be paying attention but I've implemented the redirect for both normal pages and RSS feeds. Old permalinks should continue to the old page.</p>
