Ijuru (ee-joo-roo) n. sky or heaven in several Bantu languages
I might not be in Central Africa right now, but one thing I can do at the moment is assist groups in developing and maintaining websites. Most people don’t use a fraction of the bandwidth, disk space, databases that their hosting offers, so it makes sense for someone like me to offer to host websites on my own hosting.
So I went looking for a nice domain name, and was well pleased to find ijuru.com available. Apparently all the 4-letter domain names have been bought up so I think a catchy 5-letter name is a good find.
Having setup a few Wordpress blogs recently, and having found it vastly superior to Blogger, I decided I wanted my own!. After a bit of googling I figured out how to migrate my posts and comments from Blogger to Wordpress. The import function built into Wordpress was giving me timeouts, but I found this guide which describes the magic trick to make it work
- Setup a temporary wordpress.com blog
- Import your posts from blogspot into that
- Export your posts as a WXR file from that
- Import into your new wordpress.org blog
- Delete the temporary wordpress.com blog
Course all the shiny blog software in the world can’t make this blog interesting unless I keep posting…
