Ok - I finished up most of the migration last night from Chyrp back to WordPress. Before I can switch to a new theme, I need to remove all of the hard-coded header and footer modifications (e.g. Favicon, Meta Tags, Google Analytics, etc.) and move the data into Plugins and Widget text boxes so that […]
WordPress has the momentum. Chyrp is going through an upheaval in its short history - the developer is moving away from PHP, a scripting language I actually can hack around in with comfort. As soon as I can find a few hours, I am moving back to WordPress. I’ll probably choose a WordPress theme resembling […]
The great thing about Chyrp is that I can go past 140 characters. I am treating this site a bit more like Twitter than I am like a full-length blog, so I don’t expect to see long posts here.As soon as the RSS module is released for Chyrp, I will be aggregating Twitter and Flickr […]
If you’re considering a move to Chyrp, especially if you’re currently using Tumblr and want to self-host, I’d recommend that you wait just a bit longer. Chyrp is going through a period of rapid updates. Since I made the move to Chyrp on February 6th, there have already been several releases with various new features […]
Rinzai.com has gone through a number of technology transitions since its launch in the mid-90s. From many years of hand-coding to WordPress to Apple’s iWeb and now to Chyrp. Please check back for more content as I am in the process of migrating the site.
I was finally able to upgrade rinzai.com to WordPress 2.2 today. I ran into a few small problems with outdated plugins, but the entire upgrade process took less than an hour. The primary reason for the upgrade was the Twitter Tools plugin from Alex King, which will allow me to auto post tweets to my […]
I am retiring my moblog hosted at Blogger. Why? Flickr is working just great from my phone, thank to ShoZu. The built-in Blogger integration on my Sony Ericsson K790a phone isn’t any better than using the ShoZu client to upload directly to Flickr. It is a pain uploading to two places and Flickr is the […]
It’s time for a moblog. With my Sony Ericsson K790a (Amazon) phone on order, I will have the ability to post photos from my phone directly to Blogger. I should be receiving my K790a in a week or two - the phone is just now being released in the United States.
The site, ravenzachary.blogspot.com, used to […]
My first blog a few years ago was built using iBlog, a blog publishing tool for Mac OS X. I loved the desktop experience for composing new entries - offline authoring, easy editing, spell check, drag and drop photos, etc. For me, this was a more natural way to approach blogging than entering new […]
I have successfully migrated my Blogger posts to WordPress using the built-in migration tools. Very slick - I encountered no problems. I did go back and re-categorize the entries after the import, but that was it.
I am going to be shutting down my Blogger site in the next few weeks and redirecting the traffic here. […]
