Just another ignorant weirdo from Antwerp, Belgium trying to make sense out of it all
Woohoo, quite a lot of posts already today as you may have noticed I'm just clearing out my blog buffer with some unfinished posts I had lingering about...
One of the reasons I'm clearing the buffer is also because I've been checking out another blog engine - dasBlog - and I'm hoping to switch to it pretty soon. I'd be hosting my entire site in it (not just the blog) so I still need to check some things out but I think it should be possible. Hey Clemens pulled it off for the newtelligence website so that should basically cover my feasibility phase
The drawback is that I'd have to update my server to be able to run IIS/ASP.NET (I'll still be using Apache/PHP for my webmail and other services though), and basically import all my posts into DasBlog (especially crosslinking to other posts will prove to be tricky I guess). An intelligent "Import RSS" feature would be so great to switch weblog engines... And to make it totally generic: some app that reads the rss from the old blog, updates the (internal) links, downloads media files, and imports the posts and media into the new blog using a webblog api. Does anyone have some spare time?
