Some changes under the hood here

You might have noticed it – I made some changes under the hood of this blog. I’ve switched the blog engine after over three years from Serendipity to WordPress. Why, you might ask? Because it was an interesting task to do, it was not nearly as hard to achieve than I thought it would be and finally since WordPress gives me more features and choices. The other reason: I wanted to be able to serve a mobile theme quite simply for people who are using Iphones and so on without reinventing the wheel – and that’s quite simple with the corresponding plugin here. Nifty!

I was able to import all entries and corresponding comments, including tags and comments. Thanks to some mod_rewrite-magic even the old URLs are still valid, so that Google does not need to reindex the whole thing. So for now… I am quite happy with it and enjoying the ride. Yeehaw!
