  • Success at last

    I have finally managed to port my blog from Wordpress to Community Server 2007. It was not at all a pleasant affair, but a very rough one. However, I am quite pleased with the result. I lost quite a bit of links as it was difficult to retain old links, and hence will loose my google rating, but don't care. It will rebuilt again in course of time as I write more content. The one thing I managed to get it right was to retain all comments. Hence, as far as I am concerned, this migration is a success. Over the coming few weeks, I will work on the design and a few tweaks here and there, but will now concentrate on writing more.

    Don't expect the Wordpress to Community Server migration to be a simple one. I have to manually edit and correct every single one of my posts. Still have to figure out a way to set redirects from my old post URL's to this new one. I don't want to use Community Server functionality to create redirect URL's as I want to create a permanent redirects hence, allowing blog aggregators and search engines to update the URL's.

  • Migrating from Wordpress to Community Server

    Hello,

    I have been thinking about shifting to Community Server for quite a while, but due to lack of migration tools decided to hold back. Finally I have taken the dip and decided to migrate to Community Server. It has been quite a painful process and am currently migrating my posts over to this system. I hope to have all the old posts migrated very soon to this new system.
