Odd Wordpress behaviour

June 22nd, 2006

This is really odd, I imported all my posts from blogger a couple of weeks ago. I went back to my blogger site and noticed that my blogger blog had been very sneakily replaced by a link to wordpress and a list of archives.

Some searching on the WP forums indicate that WP has to muck around with a template in order to import files and hence ends up wiping it out on the blogger site. I find that a little hard to believe. WP can alter the template and place a link to wordpress.org on my blogger blog but cannot restore a template that was existing before it started mucking around with the blog. Sounds like a whole bunch of crap to me.

I do like wordpress a lot. It has served my needs well but serioulsy if they insist on calling this a “feautre” instead of recognizing a bug and fixing it, I may be looking elsewhere pretty soon for my publishing needs (as long as I can export posts from here amd import them elsewhere)

Rahul and Kiran were with us for a good week. It was quite a refreshing change for both Benita and me from our regular routines.

It’s back to the grind today!

I love web services. Especially when they work seamlessly. I am trying to post this entry from Flickr.

This is a picture of Benita and me from our trip to Disneyworld Florida in Dec 2002.

If you can see this picture be rest assured I will love web services even more.

Hello world!

I finally have a website of my own.

Well I have had this domain name for a while but I have been trying to get a good Content Management Software going for a while. I tried Mambo for Benita’s website and found the default interface too cramped up and was too lazy to sort it out and clean things out.

I installed Wordpress today. It is not as feature rich as Mambo but does the job for me. It was quick and easy to set up.

Just posting an old picture of Benita and I to test out the new Picasa features.

Finally Google managed to get rid of the “Hello” dependancy.

Thanks GOOG!
