Blog movingday

For quite some time I have wanted to move my blog from my compadre.dk domain.

 

Getting the new domain (soerenbredlundcaspersen.dk) was quite easy, and I did that long time ago, but getting around the technical stuff took a bit more time. Setting up a new blog was no problem with WordPress. What took me some time (but now that I know how to do it shouldn’t have taken more that a few minutes) was moving all the old posts over through the wordpress export and import tools and setting up a redirect from the old blog.

 

So, hopefully I have now managed to transfer all the content from the old domain, set up a redirect that catches all old posts. Additionally I have changed the theme of the blog, from the very brightly coloured Greenery theme to the more low key Titan Theme. Hopefully this change won’t represent a general change from less colour full content on the blog, but I felt now might be as good a time as any to make a change.

 

On a more technical note, although the redirects should take care of any issues, feel free to update any links and change rss feeds from pointing to http://compadre.dk/blog/ to http://soerenbredlundcaspersen.dk/. All underlying link structure should have been moved along – but if you do notice dead links or other odd behaviour, feel free to let me know.

 

In case you wonder, this is actually the second time the blog is moving. First time was when I moved from Livejournal to a wordpress install on my own domain.

Nyt design til UbuntuDanmarks hjemmeside

Efter et fantastisk arbejde (primært af Anders Jenbo) har UbuntuDanmarks hjemmeside endelig fået et nyt design og nyt indhold.

Designet er baseret på det samme design som den officielle www.ubuntu.com hjemmeside, men er blevet tilpasset vores behov. Vi har fået en udvidet menustruktur og en integrering af forumet, som kører på phpBB. Resten af siden kører på WordPress.

Der er stadig enkelte fejl i designet, men Anders arbejder på livet løs, og de relaterer sig mest til mere eksotiske funktioner på forumet. Brugeroplevelsen skulle altså være mindst lige så god som før det nye design blev taget i brug tidligere i går.

Kommentarer eller ideer til det nye design eller det nye indhold kan gives her på forumet.

wpToGo

Som de to sidste blog posts viser, så har jeg nu fået wpToGo til at virke.

Det er en ganske god applikation til Android til at lave blog posts til WordPress blogs. Det eneste jeg ikke lige kunne få til at virke var categories, men der er tricket bare at man lige skal refreshe listen af categories, så kører det.
Ellers er der fuld understøttelse for tags, billeder, drafts, comments og redigering af tidligere posts. Så kan man jo ikke ønske sig mere.

Keyboardet på min Magic Android er jeg dog stadig ikke gode nok venner med til at jeg gider skrive længere blog posts på telefonen. Men det er super til lige at smide et billede og et par linjers tekst op.

Så nu er jeg klar til at skrive en masse blog-posts på farten og på rejser – så længe jeg kan finde et tilgængeligt wifi netværk.

That was easy and painless…

I just upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.8. As a reader, you properly won’t even notice, but as a publisher it seems I will now have smoother access to themes and widgets. See this video for all the goodness.

The upgrade was more easy than ever. I just clicked twice in the web interface, and it was done.

2.8

How easy is that?!? Great work from WordPress!

Jeg har ikke tid til at opdatere min blog (eller, blog software som det jo er) lige nu, men jeg glæder mig til at få tid til det. Den nye feature jeg ser mest frem til er klart tag’s support.

Men nu må vi se hvornår jeg får tid til at nørde med det… og om mit theme også virker med den nye WordPress version.

First post / last post

I have been quite happy with using Livejournal for my blogging so far, but have now decided to give WordPress a try. I have been working with it some time ago, but got away from it again.

Now I have WordPress running at my new web provider and after a lot (to many?) point’n’clicks I got all my old blog entrys transfered. So the new adress for my blog will now be http://compadre.dk/blog/, and this is the last blog entry on my old blog – but the first (real) one at the new one…
I hope WordPress lives up to all the good things I have heard about it.
