Moved Blog to WordPress.com

I just moved this blog from my own server to wordpress.com. Reason: I plan to get rid of the server. I don’t have time to really do anything fancy with it and it basically just costs money and time for maintenance.
Any kind of photos are now hosted on picasa webalbums. For the migration, I wrote a php script which reads out an existing wordpress blog (self-hosted or wordpress.com), searches for wp-gallery-remote tags, downloads the respective photos from the gallery, uploads them to picasa webalbums and updates the blog post again. That made migrating around 60 albums and almost 200 blog posts quiet easy.

I am not sure yet, whether the old RSS link (via feedburner) is still working. Well, I’ll see after pressing the publish button for this post. :-)

So far…

Twittering…

The microblogging platform Twitter is already live for the last 2 years, but although I got an account a few months ago, I never really used it. I still do not see the benefit in it, but after getting a dataplan for my iPhone for the next 30 days, I thought I should give it another try.
Perhaps I will be enlightened and see real benefit in twittering. So far, I only know one person in real life who uses twitter (Hello Ben) and one person from virtual life aka reading his blog (Hello Metty).

If anyone else uses Twitter who I should somehow know, twitter me.

My twitter messages can be seen in the sidebar on the right. Also the titles of new blog entries will be automatically published on my twitter feed.

New Theme Style

I found a very pretty style for the K2 theme, called TrueBlue, so this blog looks a little bit different again. (Yes, you have to visit the website, if you read the blog via rss feed… ;-) ) Furthermore, I installed Date-Stamp, a WordPress plugin by the same author as TrueBlue. But I am not yet quite sure, whether I really like Date-Stamp. If you have an opinion, drop me a comment…

Update: And I could finally activate successfully the AJAX navigation feature at the top. Try it know. ;-)

Just a simple site update. The header image is now chosen on random basis (Using this PHP script). So enjoy some new images, if you are realoading the page. ;-)
