I was able to get WordPress installed yesterday afternoon and now have a default WP blog in place.
Tomorrow evening my friend Kurt is going to help me try and get this one imported into WP. Wish us well!
Toward that end, I intend to do a little maintenance and prep around here. When I first started this blog I used TypePad’s extended post feature for a few months on the longer posts [about 27].
I am going to go in and hopefully change all of them to single body posts. That means all of you reading this via RSS will see them all again. Feel free to ignore them. I am not sure, but I may have to republish the site, too, to force some changes. That’ll also mean more repeats in your feed readers. I do apologize.
Assuming all goes well with the import into WP, I don’t foresee a lot of new stuff here. So it may be safe to ignore most of what comes into your feedreader from me for the next 2-3 days. Once I get the blog in the new place, I will make a final post here to point folks to it and provide the feed URL.
Feel free to ignore most, but keep an eye out for the new address and feed. Of course, if you weren’t reading this blog between Feb and May 2005 you may actually want to check some of these posts out. Some of it could have been much better, but then some of them are my "classics." And comments are still open on all of them, if you feel the need.
Just don’t say you weren’t warned.
Update:
Well, I find this very interesting. None of the 30 or so posts [missed a couple yesterday when making the list] I updated have refreshed in Bloglines. This is good. Maybe they didn’t in other feed readers either. One can only hope.

I wasn’t warned.
Oh, come on, somebody had to say it.
Welcome to LISHost and WordPress.

Thanks for both sentiments Walt! You had me laughing.
Now, if you’re ready to talk about the Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG….

I should have mentioned that, based on my experience, there was a good chance you wouldn’t get spurious Bloglines repeats. Or that they’ll show up a week from now (my comment feed seems to be updated every two or three days, for example).
Ah, a laugh on a Tuesday. My work here is done.

Congratulations on your move, or your imminent move! I’m so behind I missed all the domain name excitement, although since I have no clever suggestions, it’s no great loss.
Anyway, good luck with it all.
