This is UN-BE-LIEVABLE!!!

In my last post, I was wondering what it would take to implement my blog in WordPress instead of blogger.com … and it literally took me minutes! That’s it, just minutes. In fact, I spent FAR LONGER backing up my website then I needed to install, config, and import my entire blog into WordPress.

Talk about performing beyond the hype … this is super-duper to say the least. Now, I get to play with all of the advanced settings and features.

Cool.

First: Snow is doing fine, she’s showed a great deal of energy recently and her newly trimmed and stapled scar is healing very nicely. She’s due back at the vet’s next Friday night … maybe they’ll even remove the staples then - who knows.

I’ve been wondering lately if I shouldn’t change my blog software from Blogger.com to WordPress. I’d hav to host it myself, no big deal, and then import all of my current content (now possible with an ATOM module for Perl I’ve experimented with). The main selling point is all the extra features that WordPress offeres including TackBack and BlogRolls. Blogger.com only allows you to integrate these features as 3rd-party websites and you have to manually edit your template.

I’ll have to do some local testing / staging first. I’m not messing everything up just on a whim … my last template change has already dropped the links to all of my static content and I want all of that stuff back, too!
