I am pondering the process of migrating this system to Wordpress and am using this post as a place to maintain links to possible solutions. I welcome feedback on migration from any reader.

I originally implemented b2evolution for this blog because I wanted multi-blog functionality. That is, the ability to host multiple blogs in one instance. Unfortunately, this is a feature not offered by Wordpress my other blog engine.

My work blog over at aboutrestore.com relies on Wordpress and I had forgotten how powerful that platform is. It is not that b2evolution is not powerful, but Wordpress appears to have many more plugins and a very broad and active userbase. If I were to do it again, I would use Wordpress here and bypass b2evolution and am still considering migrating.

Finally, this version of b2evolution is old and I am wondering whether newer versions are more intuitive like Wordpress. Definitely worth a look since the migration path is easy.

I have been very distracted over the last few months with other endeavors. Specifically, I have been blogging about data protection on my aboutrestore.com blog and have started a photo journal where I post one picture every day. Finally, I am also twittering. The result of all this that I have limited time for this personal blog. I will still try to post every now and then, but my frequency will continue to be low.

Sorry about that!

I have been distracted as of late with digital photography and have been spending quite a bit of time taking pictures.  Unfortunately, this hobby has eaten into my blogging time hence the lack of posting as of late.  I will try to post more in the next week.  Sorry for my absence!

The big news is that the coach is interviewing with the Jets for their head coaching job and BC has indicated that they will fire him if he continues with the interview.
