Temporary Outage Fixed

This blog has been a static site since I migrated to Blogmore back in May.

Some time over the past couple of days, my hosting provider, Reclaim Hosting, must have repopulated the directory with WordPress artefacts and my landing page had become a Setup Your New WordPress site page. I managed to remove those artefacts and used the hosting site dashboard (CPanel) to uninstall the whole WordPress app. So, hopefully, this should not happen again.

Giving up the Ghost

2016-09-18_1429-300x197Fresh and Crispy has been running as a self-hosted Ghost blog for a couple of years now but today I moved it back over to a self-hosted Wordpress blog.

One of the main reasons for the move is that upgrading the Ghost software is a painfully slow manual process. Other reasons include my desire to try technologies like Mike Caulfield's Wikity which needs a Wordpress multi-site and the sheer convenience of being able to blog from the Wordpress App.

To transfer my content, I had to use the Python script ghost2wp.py provided by tzangms to convert from Ghost's JSON format to WordPress's xmlrpc. But that went very smoothly.

The Ghost blog will stay active as ghost.cpjobling.me for a while: at least until I have transferred some of the tags over.
