Typepad is cool. I beta-tested it, I’ve been a member since 2003. But I don’t really need it. I host my own MT blogs and there’s WordPress and so on. The blogs I set up on TP to test it suffer from neglect. Recently I was reminded of TP and went...

DailyKos is a hugely popular left-leaning political weblog with a very active comment section. It originally ran on Movable Type but developed growing pains as the readership (and commentariat) expanded. A few months ago, Kos transitioned to Scoop, the open source codebase that underlies kuro5hin, is designed for community participation and...

Salon blogger Gnosis has migrated from Radio to iBlog and posted an entry explaining how to manage this migration while remaining part of the Salon blogs community: It took several days longer than I expected, but Gnosis is moved, and I've settled down to the sort of code tinkering that's an...

Salon blogger Andrew Bayer has recently migrated his weblog from Radio to Movable Type, which lacks a built-in posting aggregrator. To remedy this, he has figured out a way to hook up Amphetadesk to MT. Very nice. Andrew, did you have to hack AmphetaDesk or MT or both? Either way, please...

In A frustrating but pivotal blogging week, Scott Mace discusses migrating his Service Provider Blog from Radio UserLand to TypePad. An outage that prevented him from posting with Radio prompted him to make the move sooner rather than later. Scott sat in on my Seybold seminar, so I hope our discussion...

Just migrated a set of online journal entries made with Blogger in 2000 into my X-POLLEN weblog. This leaves a gap from late 2000 until January of 2002. What was I doing inbetween? Riding a dotcom all the way down, working on a novel I still haven't finished, writing in a...

Having migrated a weblog (this one) from Radio to Movable Type and another from Blogger Pro to Movable Type, my next migration project has been to get my old bodega weblog migrated over from LiveJournal to Movable Type, and imported into my X-POLLEN blog. The definitive resource for LJ to MT...

Shelley Powers has done some thinking about how to make it possible for all webloggers to publish to domains they control, and has come up with some principles: Hosted services support domain pointers. If your service can support something like yourweblog.blogspot.com (or yourweblog.typepad.com), it can support a unique domain name for...

Now, to the mediajunkie project. First, a friend set up a phpnuke installation, but I never got around to priming the pump. Then, in a fit of frustration I set up a Blogger (later Pro) weblog in February of last year called at first Media Junk and later Bite Media, except...

It's ugly, but we've migrated. This is the first new post to Radio Free Blogistan directly via Movable Type. All the old entries have been imported over, with their category information preserved. They will be published to new individual, daily, and monthly archives without overwriting the page written by Radio in...

A little more digging has yielded these links: Bill Kearney Moving from Radio to Movable Type Bill is an outspoken detractor of Dave Winer's and thus has a vested interest in facilitating people migrating.

As promised last week, I am going to start migrating some of my weblogs from tool to tool. I'm not doing this just to demonstrate the processes and the problems, but because I have had longstanding plans to do so as a matter of trying to rationalize (or refactor) my web...

I'm done talking about RSS (originally RDF Site Summary, then Rich Site Summary, then Really Simple Syndication - gopod only knows what it stands for now). It's been made clear to me that my interlocution in the increasingly unhelpful RSS debates is unwelcome, and I've started tasting bile and feeling the...

Journo-blogger J.D. Lasica has moved his JD's Media Musings blog from Manila to Movable Type, and from jd.manilasites.com to jdlasica.com. (In doing so, he notes, he is forfeiting his No. 2 ranking among Manila sites.) He doesn't mention why he left Manila....

There's no way to force people who have blogrolled my old address update their links. I can only assume that they haven't checked back much since their initial burst of inclusion, or if they have that they think I stopped blogging sometime last October. Then there are those who subscribed to...
