...Blog-wise that is.
It's been a while since I posted but work's calming down a bit so I think I'll be on a bit of a blogging mission soon. In the meantime I've migrated from BlogCFC to Mango Blog.
I'm a fan of BlogCFC, it's served me well, although after having a quick play with Mango Blog I wanted to switch. Coming from a design/CSS background, the chance to easily create themes for my blog was one of the deciders. BlogCFC has always been a bit of a mission to style and more effort maintaining that style after updates. I look forward to seeing what BlogCFC 6 brings in that respect.
Mango installation and migration is an absolute breeze, very much a "is that all I need to do?" kind of procedure. Although, I did have a couple of teething problems while testing. I started with version 1.2.2, but the BlogCFC import would throw an error. A quick post to the Mango Blog Forums and within hours (including the time zone differences) Laura had 1.2.3 on RIAForge. And the import was fixed. But then I noticed all the imported comments (not that I have that many) had been given a date/time of the import, not their original. Seems I was the first to spot it (doesn't look like Mark Drew did in his recently migration, oops). But another quick post to the forums and Laura delivers the goods again this morning with 1.2.4. So that was the decider and I put my blog live in Mango. And here it is :)
A big thanks to Laura Arguello for all her fantastic work and help!
Expect themes and plugins from me soon...
P.S. if you're migrating from BlogCFC don't forget to recreate the rss.cfm in the root pointing to the new feed file: <cfinclude template="feeds/rss.cfm" />. To maintain any existing subscribers.
