After a good few years with Wordpress I’ve decided to make the change to Mephisto. Given my commitment to Rails it seemed a little stupid to still be running this site on PHP.

The only thing which kept me from switching months ago was the thought that migrating away from my heavily patched wordpress installation would be an enormous amount of work. I had a number of wordpress plugins and some random hacks in various parts of the source code which stem from my old movable type installation. After seeing how smoothly Jamis’ Upgrade went, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try.

While the converter didn’t quite work as advertised, I managed to hack it into shape and provide a two line patch to fix most of the problems. Hopefully I’ve managed to catch all the 404s, and put redirects in place, but if something’s broken, just drop a comment here.

It’ll probably be a little rough over the next few days as feedburner caches clear, and theme changes trickle in.
