Re: [videoblogging] blogger to wordpress
Thanks Jen, the stuff you penciled in at the Philly
Wordpress/Blogger worked quite well after cleaning up
a few typos. Up and running, another Philly vlogger.
Or vlogummentor as I like to say!

Like this page:

Here's the relevant code:
This is in the head tag:
script language=JavaScript
type=text/JavaScript
!--
function MM_goToURL() { //v3.0
var i, args=MM_goToURL.arguments;
document.MM_returnValue = false;
for (i=0; i(args.length-1); i+=2)
eval(args[i]+.location='+args[i+1]+');
}
//--
/script
And this is in the body:
a href=http://www.jensimmons.com/blog;
img src=card.jpg
onload=MM_goToURL('parent','http://www.jensimmons.com/blog');return
document.MM_returnValue /
/a
I put the manual link code there in case someone's
browser misses the
javascript, then they can click on the image and get
to the new site.
If you make a plain-jane html page and use this
code, you can make that
your template in blogger, and blogger will post it
to index.html. It
just won't have any blogger tags in it, so nothing
from your blog will
show up. This does take a bit more knowledge of how
to create an html
page from scratch, so the other solution is easier
for people who only
know how to use blogger. Here, I'll paste the full
html into the end of
this message, so you can see the whole thing.
Thanks to Verdi!! (all hail!)

Hi, You would need to set that up on blogger somewhere. If you wanted to simply forward to your front page you could do it with JS in your blogger template (are you allowed to edit the template?).

RE: [videoblogging] blogger to wordpress
Funny, last week I ran the script that ported all my old blogger entries to wordpress. Since blogger doesnt have categories, the old ones ended up in the default category, but thats easy to edit. The process was very easy... Just do a google search on blogger to wordpress for detailed instructions. If you want to see the results the site is at sleepyblogger.com. I think I did it last weds or so, theres a post saying that I am in the middle of the install, if you want the exact date. Also, since I did it this way, I didnt have to decide to redirect. However, if you are hosting on blogspot (I wasnt) I guess youd still have the issue to decide. My 2 cents on that would be a 3 second redirect from a page that said This site has moved, if you arent redirected, please click here ___. I did that when I initially left the blogspot hosting months ago. Feel free to email me personally on this.

Re: [videoblogging] blogger to wordpress
Just so that what I mean is clearer ... That block of text can appear WITH the origional content (not simply in place of it). That way old permalinks that dont get updated can still find the content - and a handy reminder that they're at an out-dated url. (Although you could do something more advanced with JavaScript to redirect individual old permalinks to their new location on the new site, it would be a much bigger deal (you'd have to have a page at the new site that would do some work and basically map old permalinks to new ones). My personal thought is that it would be easiest to put up a banner we've moved sign, but still leave the old content available ... that way old links and cached feed entries will still be valid.)

Re: [videoblogging] blogger to wordpress
FWIW I agree, you should keep the old account (esp if it's free) and add a big notice at the top to go to the new home page of the blog. You don't want to break all the links that are probably indexed in search engines, linked from other sites, etc, etc. By forwarding to the front of a new site, you force folks to search for the content they were looking for when they get there. Give 'em what they're looking for first, then let them decide if they want to continue to explore your site. best, On 1/18/06, David Meade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just so that what I mean is clearer ... That block of text can appear WITH the origional content (not simply in place of it). That way old permalinks that dont get updated can still find the content - and a handy reminder that they're at an out-dated url. (Although you could do something more advanced with JavaScript to redirect individual old permalinks to their new location on the new site, it would be a much bigger deal (you'd have to have a page at the new site that would do some work and basically map old permalinks to new ones). My personal thought is that it would be easiest to put up a banner we've moved sign, but still leave the old content available ... that way old links and cached feed entries will still be valid.)

If you wanted to simply forward to your front page you could do it with JS in your blogger template (are you allowed to edit the template?). The best way to do it would be on the server-side.

Re: [videoblogging] blogger to wordpress
They do allow editing the head of the page ... but ... yes that will break permalinks. (and its not a sure thing) Alternatively though, one could simply not redirect at all and instead just put up a site-wide notice that new content is being published to a new url and that bookmarks should be updated.

I say leave all the permalink pages so that anyone who's returning to a specific place in your old site (from a bookmark or from a link from someone else's site) will still find the old content. And yes, modify the template so the old site pages have a notice + link to the new home page. But then also -- replace the index.htm home page with an empty redirect page so that anyone who goes to your old home page (which is most of your traffic) will get automatically and elegantly sent to the new site. You can create such a redirect index page without using Blogger -- giving you the opportunity to leave the Blogger template to do the above description... oh wait. maybe you can't do this on blogspot... there's no way to manually ftp a replacement index file over the blogger created index file, is there... this would work if your blogger blog was on your own server. anyone have ideas about how to do this on blogspot? jen jenSimmons http://www.emergingawareness.org http://www.inclinationsthemovie.com http://www.jensimmons.com Yahoo!
