While taking longer than I wanted, I finally settled on how the site will progress. I decided to move away from PostNuke/Zikula. I've had my hands in PN for many years doing everything from simple to complex sites. I liked where Zikula (the new generation of PN) was going, but it's just not there. Especially for blog-centric sites. So I decided to hook onto the WordPress wagon. My good friend, Fred, helped out with database conversion and it was excellent. I will make his script available here since his Web presence is next to nothing. If you're familiar with PostNuke, you know there is a lot of stuff to it. I only wanted my comments, articles, users, and topics moved over. All of the other stuff like reviews and ephimerids can stay there. I aquired the wpremix template solution because it is how I would design this site given more time. I need to realize I don' t have to build everything from scratch. WP is awesome all by itself and with the right add-ons, I'm not worried about it. So the plan goes something like this:
- Old content brought over -- check
- New template brought online and rebranded -- check
- New content to be generated -- writing it now
- Old site links converted to new links using htaccess -- I'll get back to you on that one
- Integration with my social networking sites just to make sure we all get along.
- RSS redirection (must Feedburner be use for everything?)
Now I will be adding content and tweaking the site in such a way you'll think it's a "Can you see the differences?" game from Highlights.
