Transfer from Wordpress to Posterous whilst retaining your links
- oldstrangers 15y agoWhy would you ever want to do this?
- makethetick 15y agoMigrate from Wordpress to Posterous? I fancied a change..
- kylemaxwell 15y agoFunny, I'd like to move more of my stuff to Wordpress. Though I've not used Posterous in quite some time.
- makethetick 15y agoI just fancied going down the hosted route for a change, less maintenance, no comment spam to worry about, besides I didn't need half the features Wordpress offers. There are a couple of feature that Posterous could do with though, like custom slug, easier comment handing, javascript. I'll manage though, it's a nice change for now.
- kylemaxwell 15y agoPurely out of curiosity, why Posterous over Wordpress.com?
- makethetick 15y agoI didn't like the idea of paying for certain features, mainly to use my own domain. I'm not sure if it'll be a permanent move yet so didn't want to pay only to decide to go back to self hosted somewhere down the line.
- benatkin 15y agoDoes this really read in an entire xml file of all your posts for every request, just to redirect? Seems inefficient. I think redis might be a good fit for this.
- makethetick 15y agoIt is pretty inefficient but I didn't have masses of posts to migrate so it made sense. If this were anything more than a quick and dirty script then a data store would be the best approach, maybe sqlite.
