Strandhill Online is now published using  Wordpress – very nice too.

The import from Blogger was done via Wordpress.com (it has an import from blogger features), exported from Wordpress.com and then re-imported back into strandhillonline.com.

It’s only afterwards you realise the small things that make this messy – even though the import/export was very easy. The key thing was preserving Google ranking – this was not helped by the fact that blog permalinks are created the first time you create a post – any subsequent modifications to the title do not change the permalink. This took a little bit of figuring out, and those links that broke Google, I recreated (just 3 out of 9).

The early flush of getting something half decent up and running for Strandhill Online, has been quickly replaced by recognition of the inflexibility of Blogger (where this site is currently hosted).

Currently looking to Wordpress (another, more flexible blogging platform) to provide the basis for this.

The most obvious drawback of Blogger is the inability to add static, non-chronology based links.
