7 February 2010 Migrated To Wordpress
Well, more to come, but after 6 years with blogger – they’ve changed the way they do things (no more FTP) and so I’ve moved to Wordpress. It’s a move I’ve been meaning to do for a while. It automagically (well, almost) imports all the posts (except for video’s) but not comments.. though I may try to work on that.
Anyways.. enjoy – let me know if anything does(n’t) work that well..

Looks great. Did the transfer of the database just work out without any tweaking?
February 11, 2010
Pretty much – comments were the real issue. Because I had used my own commenting system on the old blog they wouldn’t import without a huge hassle (so I gave up).
Fortunately I’d made all of the images with http://www.maths.tcd.ie/ links – so all I had to do was do a find & replace over the database and replace with http://blog.psdavey.com/ and it all just worked.
Magic :)

Awesome. Just one thing; my parents have a problem reading your blog, due to their screen settings. Since they are using old screen on a 800 x 600 setting they can’t read the entire text. Your sidebar takes out the right side of your content. Maybe you could make the width relative…
February 12, 2010
They should be able to read the entire text?! Unfortunately the images are 250px wide – so if there are two side by side – then the minimum width of the sidebar (another 290 or something) will put it over the edge…
Honestly, can’t cater for everyone ;) (but they should be able to see all the text – what browser are you using? IE or FF? Can you mail a screenshot? :)

Sorry I had it wrong apparently. The comments were too wide. I’ve send you a screen shot.
February 12, 2010
And you are right. You can’t cater for everyone. Parents in law are such a hassle aren’t they… ;)
But think about this; what would Maaike’s mum say about this?

I’ve no idea, what would Maaike’s mum say about the comments now? ;)

Thank you. So I am important enough. I’m content.
I wouldn’t have said anything but Sjoerd is cheekier.

no no, I’d much prefer the site works well – I’m happy Sjoerd was pedantic ;)
