Just moved this site to wordpress
I just moved www.ForMortals.com to WordPress, and it was a monumental effort in moving a DotNetNuke Blog site to WordPress. DotNetNuke was never stable as a blogging platform and it was a mistake to start off with it. Even though I quickly realized this mistake, I knew it would be painful migrating my existing blogs and users.
The SQL database structure in the two platforms were nothing alike and even the field types were unique in WordPress. I’ve finished moving all the old blog postings and all the subscribers. I still have to finish moving all of the comments. The final look and feel hasn’t been completed yet, but I already feel a lot better about the site. Please add any feedback in the comment section below.
I will be sending out email notifications to everyone about this migration. If you hadn’t already done so, please reset your password here using your email address and update your profile information. Please accept my apology for the inconvenience and thank you for subscribing to this site.
Update 9:00 AM – Just dumped in over 1500 comments from old site into this new platform. I’ve tried to maintain the formatting and post dates as well as the blog entries they are attached to. Now this is feeling much more like a nice new home.
Update 10:00 AM – If you want a photo associated with your account, you’ll need to set up a gravatar account.
Update 7/20/2009 – Added OpenID support (though it doesn’t seem to be working). I also need to figure out how to dynamically change the top-right photo to the author of the blog entry that you are reading.
