I realize that it’s been a while since I started the migration of my website, and it’s also been a while since the date I had hoped to finish migrating everything. So, I decided to give a quick up date as to how much progress I’ve made, what I still have left to do, and how long I expect it to take.

As of today, everything on my website is migrated except for all blog posts written in 2011. That wording makes it seem like I’m very close to finishing, seeing as I have content from all the way back from early 2009, but unfortunately, I decided to do a blog-everyday-in-2011 challenge (and succeeded), so I still have 365 more pages to go.

What’s making blog posts more difficult and time-consuming to transfer than other pages is that I have to go through and remove manually-entered navigation code from the bottom of every blog post. What’s even more time-consuming about blog posts in 2011 is that I have to go through the old RSS feed and find out what I titled each blog post, so I can transfer the title as well – there is unfortunately no pre-made connection between the titles and the blog posts, so I have to put those in manually.

I would love to say that this will be done within the next week, but I don’t think that is going to happen, seeing as I’m about to start summer classes soon as well and will have even less time than I did before. Realistically, I could do about one month per day and still not get completely frustrated and exhausted by the transfer process. I will probably forget to, choose not to, or not have time to do a month a day once in a while. Seeing as there are 12 months remaining to transfer, I am going to say that the anticipated date for completion is the end of June.

As for the people who have offered to help me in the transfer process, although I really appreciate your offers, I am going to reject them. I’d rather finish this up myself because, first of all, that’s just the type of person I am, and also, I want to make sure that everything is done exactly how I want it to be done.

I will probably be posting another update when everything is finished, so keep your eyes out in late June for that. Meanwhile, if you think there are other things about my new website design and function that could be improved, feel free to use the contact form to let me know.
