Short Note About the Redesign
Posted by Melanie Phung on Friday, June 6, 2008 at 11:43 am
I’ve redesigned and migrated All About Content from self-hosted Blogger to self-hosted WordPress this morning (and by “I”, I of course mean “someone much smarter than me, on my behalf”) and such things never go off flawlessly. So expect things to be kinda-sorta broken for a little bit.
Some of the links don’t work. Monthly archives aren’t redirecting (but now posts are organized by categories instead of month, which makes more sense anyway). And worst of all, I accidentally deleted almost all my comments from this year (and there was some good stuff in there). Also, in the migration the comment links didn’t transfer, so if you left some really thoughtful, brilliant comments to earn a dofollow link, I’m really sorry about that! I’ll figure out how to retrieve those from the back up and do my best to insert the links back into previous comments as well.
I know this is the part where I’m supposed to solicit feedback on the new site, but I’m scaredÂ
Keep in mind it’s a work in progress!
To be fair, the part @thynctank did for me was totally not a fail. He can’t help it that I’m incompetent and manage to delete my comments after he handles the migration. The rest is on me to fix. Again, to be clear, whatever errors exist on the new blog are NOT his fault. Thanks thynctank for putting up with me during this whole process!!
The new layout looks much better than the old one. I finally see colors and images after all these years of back and grey. ![]()
Hi Melanie - love the new design. It’s quite awesome.
Michael
Thanks guys!
The migration was a good decision. Blogger has been having some long downtimes lately, so it’s a huge drawback for everyone.
The new design is cool, and SEO friendly.
So, Wordpress + new design = success.
Congrats!










MIGRATION = FAIL
New Blog Layout = WIN
so far you are even.
I like the new look.
