Here are some thought regarding a recent hosting migration from ASO to Host Gator:
As I previously promised, I am publishing a reference list that I compiled while researching the process of migrating from SquareSpace to WordPress. Some of the links refer to earlier processes that applied more to SquareSpace version 5 than the current version 6. I am including them, however, since many SquareSpace users may still be running version 5 sites so the information would be pertinent. → Read the rest
The process that I used to bring my posts from my SquareSpace blog to the newly created one on WordPress was pretty basic. I first went into the blog on Squarespace via the longer url of quawkle.squarespace.com and logged in with my administrators account. Since I had already hooked up the DNS settings for quawkle.com to the new blog site on WordPress this was the only means I had of accessing my SquareSpace account. → Read the rest
I have been trying out several posting services lately with the purpose of easily moving video from my iPhone to several locations on the web. I have tried using Qik, which I like and which also now allows me to post video from the iPhone while connected with 3G service. I also use Posterous, a simple blogging, aggregating service (there may be better ways to describe Posterous), to post videos, audio clips, and photos.
This is a short post to see if the new WordPress plugin – WordBook – is working fine. I had some issues with the version on PHP running on my blog. Now I am running version 5 and the plugin seems to work fine. I am not sure if I will experience other WordPress plugin issues that are PHP 4 dependent.
When I made a decision last year to get serious about blogging, I had to make two first-step decisions:
1) What platform was I going to use?
and
2) What training tool would I enlist to make me more effective with decision #1?
When I did a book search for WordPress, there didn’t seem to be a lot of options.
