Migration to WordPress finished

The blog has been migrated from Serendipity to WordPress. This is the first post with the new system.

Thanks to Snowulf’s script and post migration rewrite rules the migration has been mostly hassle-free. Just the media gallery needed to be adapted by hand afterwards.

  1. Glad to see my scripts are helping out. The rewrite rules should have helped a little bit with uploaded media, depending on how it was stored. Even still, making easy migrations from one platform to another is important these days.

    1. Your rewrite rules are really sophisticated :), but to be honest I just used the “archive.*” rules to support old trackback links and internal links to other articles. It turned out that I didn’t have much media in s9y so I simply uploaded the files again and updated the referencing article manually. This way I have no dependencies to the old structure in my current article data.

  2. Glad I could be of service. I’ve found WordPress to be much more useful than Serendipity.
