Glitchline Is Already A WordPress Blog
This is it! I’m sorry if it took me more than 2 days to migrate from blogspot to wordpress. Although I have my own domain last January, my contents were hosted by blogspot/blogger. And this is my first post on this blog on wordpress. There were unexpected problems I encountered during migration even if I started googling around about my migration 2 weeks ago.
Problem #1:
I’m using wordpress 2.6. The import blogger tool didn’t work.
Solution:
- Make a temporary wordpress.com and import the blogspot/blogger file from there.
- After importing, export the file and save the xml file on your computer.
- This is the file to be import on domain.com.
Note: Its an old and simple trick but it did work. Don’t forget to delete all the files on your temporary wordpress.com or you will have stray duplicate contents on the web.
Problem #2:
I’ve been mentioning many times from my other blog that I’m not happy with the customer support of Mobile eBooks’ host. I’m having a hard time seeking answers and help on how can I make multiple blog on single account. 2 days is consumed nothing happened because I end up doing “trial and error”. I tried using their wordpress application (lower version) and I mistakenly overwrite ebooktechie’s wordpress files. I emailed them and ask them if they can restore my contents. Guess what? they will charge me $100++ forgot the exact amount if they restore it. Forget it! The sad part is my backup file is dated May 8.
Solution: The good thing is I understand the file manager. I manually upgrade the wordpress version. Be cautious in htaccess and wp-config file and wp-content folder.
Problem #3:
Permalink, this is the article link. As you can see, I don’t mind using the blogspot permalink even if this blog is already on wordpress. Why? To retain the google juice, I don’t want to start from scratch again. When I switched glitchline.com to glitchline.blogspot.com, its already a PR3. I guess, that answered my post Where’s PageRank.
Solution:
- On your wordpress admin panel, click settings
- Choose permalink
- Click custom structure and put this on the blank
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html - Save changes
- Login to your blogspot.com, go to posts on admin panel
- Right click and open a new tab for every post
- If its a 404 error, edit the wordpress post link
My blogspot/blogger account is pointing to glitchline.com to avoid stray duplicate content. I may or may not transfer the PR3 or maybe sandboxed, at least I’m happy that glitchline is already a wordpress blog. There are still many things needed here which I will tackle soon.
Glitchline Advisory
I’ve started migrating my files to wordpress yesterday. Trying my luck yesterday, I’m still figuring it out how can I migrate ALL my blogspot files. Glitchline will be temporarily unavailable for 1-2 days.
I’m sorry to featured blog on my entrecard widget, I will temporary cancel the advert for the meantime. Feel free to place advertise on my site soon.
Thank you.
From Blogspot To WordPress
Why I seldom update my blog here? I’m planning to migrate my blog to wordpress. Yep, I have my own domain here but this is not enough. Since I’m already paying for my host of Mobile eBooks Etc, its wise decision to move glitchline to same host. As soon as everything work out fine as expected, I’ll be posting my other reasons why as well as the comparison. hmnn… Blogspot vs WordPress?
