Quoting from Migration to TypePad, in which Brad De Long notes that Chuq Von Rospach is moving Teal Sunglasses and his other weblogs to TypePad: Old Internet Mountain Man Chuq Van Rospach is moving his weblogs to Typepad: Teal Sunglasses: blogquake! (ch-ch-ch-changes….): I’ve finally decided on what I want to do. Really — no, honest,…

Steven Cohen explains why he has moved his blog first from Movable Type to Radio, and now from Radio to Blogger. [via Scripting News]

DailyKos is a hugely popular left-leaning political weblog with a very active comment section. It originally ran on Movable Type but developed growing pains as the readership (and commentariat) expanded. A few months ago, Kos transitioned to Scoop, the open source codebase that underlies kuro5hin, is designed for community participation and collaborative filtering of content…

In A frustrating but pivotal blogging week, Scott Mace discusses migrating his Service Provider Blog from Radio UserLand to TypePad. An outage that prevented him from posting with Radio prompted him to make the move sooner rather than later. Scott sat in on my Seybold seminar, so I hope our discussion of the various blog…

Just migrated a set of online journal entries made with Blogger in 2000 into my X-POLLEN weblog. This leaves a gap from late 2000 until January of 2002. What was I doing inbetween? Riding a dotcom all the way down, working on a novel I still haven’t finished, writing in a lot of paper journals.…

Having migrated a weblog (this one) from Radio to Movable Type and another from Blogger Pro to Movable Type, my next migration project has been to get my old bodega weblog migrated over from LiveJournal to Movable Type, and imported into my X-POLLEN blog. The definitive resource for LJ to MT conversion is Amanita’s explanation.…

UserLand made a class move by forwarding hits from jrobb.userland.com to John Robb’s new weblog address.

Now, to the mediajunkie project. First, a friend set up a phpnuke installation, but I never got around to priming the pump. Then, in a fit of frustration I set up a Blogger (later Pro) weblog in February of last year called at first Media Junk and later Bite Media, except it always kept morphing…

It’s ugly, but we’ve migrated. This is the first new post to Radio Free Blogistan directly via Movable Type. All the old entries have been imported over, with their category information preserved. They will be published to new individual, daily, and monthly archives without overwriting the page written by Radio in the past. That’s the…

A little more digging has yielded these links: Bill Kearney Moving from Radio to Movable Type Bill is an outspoken detractor of Dave Winer’s and thus has a vested interest in facilitating people migrating. Exporter tool for Radio So far, the latest version of the Exporter tool is causing my instsanceof Radio to choke and…

I’m done talking about RSS (originally RDF Site Summary, then Rich Site Summary, then Really Simple Syndication – gopod only knows what it stands for now). It’s been made clear to me that my interlocution in the increasingly unhelpful RSS debates is unwelcome, and I’ve started tasting bile and feeling the urge to utter “a…

Journo-blogger J.D. Lasica has moved his JD’s Media Musings blog from Manila to Movable Type, and from jd.manilasites.com to jdlasica.com. (In doing so, he notes, he is forfeiting his No. 2 ranking among Manila sites.) He doesn’t mention why he left Manila.
