Migrated to WordPress
Tuesday, January 3rd 2006 | Ismael Ghalimi
Now that Yahoo! is offering a hosted version of WordPress, I have decided to migrate to this more advanced blogging platform. I liked TypePad’s ease of use and was pleasantly surprised by Six Apart’s professional handling of their recent technical problems, but the ability to customize WordPress is what got me sold, not to mention the rave reviews I got from Assaf and Jeff. All posts have been migrated but I was not able to transfer comments unfortunately. Sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime, WordPress made it into my Office 2.0 Setup.

In the past two months, I have migrated from TypePad to WordPress and from del.icio.us to Simpy, and in both instances, migration was a relatively easy process, even though TypePad’s lack of RSS syndication for comments made it harder than it should have been.

[…] Blog Publishing: WordPressI initially started with TypePad, but quickly migrated to WordPress, with hosting provided by Yahoo! Small Business. WordPress is extremely powerful, yet fairly simple to use. The extensive collections of plugins is one of the things that make WordPress such an attractive blogging platform. Also, because it’s entirely implemented in PHP, customization is a relatively easy exercise if you’re among the 3 million PHP coders out there. WordPress offers free hosting under the wordpress.com domain name, while a blog on Yahoo! under your own domain name will cost you $8.01 a month. […]
