Blog Migration

August 26, 2010

Plans have been afoot for a while now to redesign the blog and move it to it’s own aranbrew.com URL. I got the URL ages ago but didn’t manage to move the blog. I’m quite good at computers but for some reason web design and css evade me. I decided to try out wordpress and found it’s pretty easy to design a blog that looks well. In an evening I managed to get the blog looking better than it ever has on blogger. WordPress has a few other advantages, images seem to behave better and the whole layout is nicer. Another big plus is that there is a very nice android app which makes it easy for me to blog from my phone. I wonder why there is no nice blogger app, blogger and android are both run by google so you’d think they would integrate them a bit better. I decided to pay wordpress to redirect to the aranbrew.com URL as working out how to host it would take another three months.

Now that is all done and I’ve moved I have to ask you all to point your links this way and update your rss feeds and all that jazz. I’ll still blog a link to new posts for a while in blogger and put in a big arrow pointing here. I’m hoping to work out how to get blogger to redirect here for old posts but again that may take me some time to figure out.

    You came up on my Google reader feed without me having to do anything.
    I’m a big fan of WordPress too. Welcome to your new home, I hope you’ll be very happy here.

    Nice new site! I am planning to migrate over to WordPress at some point as well. Working for a web design company means I can set up a development site before going live, which is very helpful.

      Thanks Velky Al and magneticsolutions below. Yeah wordpress seems to be much easier to deal with. Even things like getting images into posts is a lot easier.
