OK, all the posts got imported. Let’s check the differences here with the same post in both places:

So how did it go?

  1. Well thanks to the fixes done by @manton most media got rehosted, but some didn’t Wordpress’s carousel media isn’t supported so I have to add it back myself.
  2. Comments don’t carry over. Which wouldn’t be a problem if the URLs were the same because I federated most comments with [POSSE}(http://indieweb.org/posse) methods. I have to do it all manually now I think… If I can do it.
  3. Categories are intact, but I forgot microblog doesn’t do tags, converting them into catgories too… I have 34 categories now. 😅 I’ll need to do something about that.
  4. URL structure didn’t carry over… there might be dragons on this one.
  5. It was pretty quick– but there’s no status or options page to monitor progress, so I have to eyeball it by just refreshing the new blog in another tab.

Next Steps

1️⃣ Since the URL structure didn’t carry over there’s going to be a lot of link rot. (I don’t know if that’s such a big deal though– it’s a personal blog so its not a big deal maybe but not having a way to fix that or just cut and paste front matter is something I’d like to see get added in at some point. –@help, is there something I’m missing? 2️⃣ I’ll need to manually move the media that didn’t make it over. Not a difficult problem though. 3️⃣ Figuring out commenting/federating/crossposting is going to be a second; the Wordpress blog is fully functional with links to everything microblog can do but it’s just done differently so there’s going to be some changes I think. Keeping links to the original post via URL structure would make this easier since most of the discussions were federated elsewhere. 4️⃣ Explore the micro.blog universe of apps, hacks and other goodness while refactoring so I can migrate fully by next weekend.

📺stay tuned!

OK, time to see if I can try migrating starrwulfe.xyz over here to micro.blog after some changes with my backup files along with the import system have been made. Also shout out to @manton for his help with this. Can’t beat the community here!

Turns out it these Mr Beast Feastables ain’t half bad!

Now: Getting the last of my yearly compliance trainings done at work– consisting of a dry AI synthesized voiceover and some 2000’s era Flash looking animations dictating policies that could be read 3 times faster than is being drip fed to me right now… 🙄

OK, Back to testing some things out here in micro.blog land. I want to take the next week or so and see if I can put the main feed over here.

  • As much as I love working with Wordpress for blogging, I have come to realize that I’m more of a microblogger with maxiblogging tendencies.
  • Wordpress coupled with the ActivityPub and IndieWeb plugins are NOICE. And all that works just fine natively over here too.
  • Not sure how importing all my junk and republishing here will work… The short linking will break I’m sure unless I can bug @manton to be bothered looking at the shortlink fields in my tables and making a secondary permalink.
  • Sidenote: It’d be a good idea to get a handle on the permalink structure and having secondary links in micro.blog anyway IMO.
  • I need to see if there’s a way to make a test blog and do the import first, fix what’s broken, then switch over to the finished version by having a temp URL… Like preview and production at my job.
  • Oh, and Bridgy compatiblity things. Some of the crossposting is done on the backend by default I think, but how can I tweak some thangs… 🤔

I can always jump around if things don’t work out the way I want them anyway, right?

(…plus I need to redo the VPS my blog is sitting on and nixify it. )

Why does it seem like Atlanta’s transit agencies continually aim lower and lower when it comes to planning?

I was this many years old when I was told it was going to be an extension of the Red Line rail service from North Springs Station, about 5 miles away. Now all we get is a noisy, smoggy bus island in between 8 lanes of speeding traffic.

Nah, this ain’t it chief.

In any other place, this kind of behavior by a candidate seeking to become head of state (or even neighborhood councilman) would spell the end of the line for the campaign.

The USA is truly an exceptional place and a land of opportunity in every sense, apparently.

But this is also the mark of real freedom; we should be proud we are able to have strangeness like this to keep us on our toes.

It should remind us that the price of freedom isn’t free and it’s better to pay the bill for democracy as early as possible before the interest compounds and takes the cost of keeping our liberties out of reach
