I am making final adjustments to a new blog that we have just launched at work. This one is Hurol Inan’s website (about Web Analytics) - I worked with Andrew Boddy (Designer) and Christopher Jones (Developer) to move the existing site from a custom CMS circa y2k to a shiny new Wordpress install.
We developed it in a subdirectory before moving it to the root - this was the main thing I was worried about. I have moved a blog before (this one) but it doesn’t feel safe. In the end, it only took about an hour to move it, and style a number of pages that we are keeping in the existing site (ie not importing into wordpress).
Quite a few articles have been loaded into it, and there were only a few minor things that needed tweaking after the launch. There is still quite a bit of content that is external from Wordpress, and some of it is duplicated. Search traffic is important to the site, and we did not want to disturb the existing pages too much. I am hoping that we do not run into any issues with Google due to the doubling up.
I’m very happy with how it turned out
