I’ve completed the migration of data from the old legacy FishHouse and Our House blogs to this new blog WordPress.
New posts for the fish house blog can be located in the fish house category, and likewise with posts to the our house blog, can be located in house.
I’ve left the old legacy blogs in place for the current time. If you find any issues please let me know.
I’ve now imported all the posts from the old Our House blog. I’ve still got to convert the posts with photos and internet links in before they get published here. I think I’ve decided to take the plunge, and no longer update the old legacy blogs, and new posts will appear on this new blog, in the various categories, sections or topics. It will make things easier for posting, and make easier reading. To keep the timeline correct, they’ve all been tagged as category house, but I’ve also tagged them in other relevant categories. So over the coming weeks, you’ll see more of the older posts appearing, once they’ve been duly converted (provided WordPress and the hosting holds out!)
my new blog is crapping out, one of my TiVos crashed for the first time every – it had hung – first time in 10 years – and my computer at home is playing up, I’ve got to post this from my games rig (oh yes, I have a seperate computer to play games from!)
i’m going to leave the blog alone for 7 days, and just post, and see how it goes. let me know if it fails!
Just testing to see if I can send an e-mail to my blog and it will post it!
just integrated the new blog software to automatically update twitter. I just need to workout the mysql error, to complete the conversion!
okay, I’ll come clean, I broke it. In messing with the mysql tables, I must have removed the Page, that is used to display the “posts”. It took me a while to find the issue this evening. I thought it was performance related, and was going to pull wordpress, I only want to upgrade, because I thought it may be quicker, than the older blog software. I’ll carry on testing, but still have issues converting and importing the old data. I may have to export the data, hand convert on a wintel platform, convert all the data, because I think what I’m trying to do, is beyond the access controls I have over the hosted mysql database.
I increased the memory size required for the script, and it runs okay.
I included this in the script
ini_set(“memory_limit”,”256M”);
The script runs perfectly, and imports the contents from both blogs into WordPress.
I tried to export the contents of the current blogs, to import into WordPress (new blog software), and it failed with a
Connected to database for blog FishHouse Blog!
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 131071 bytes) on line 135
I wonder what that means?
These times are changing it’s been five years, I’ve been blogging, and the software I’ve been using has run it’s course and it’s time to upgrade to something more current. Over the next coming months, I will try and merge aquablog and our house blogs into one blog, with different categories, rather than two seperate blogs which is how they exist at present. This will allow me to blog in more specific categories, fish house, garden DIY, car, computers, internet etc, you get the general idea. So you can select a category (section) to read, rather than ready all the rubbish I blog about. The FishHouse Blog! and Our House blogs haven’t moved and are still there. Just click the links to access them. Eventually they will be merged into categorys (sections) here.
