A Different Perspective

So regular visitors to the site should notice some major changes. I’ve switched from b2evolution to WordPress. The reason for the switch is relatively simple. While b2evo has an incredible developer community, WordPress’s community is all that and more. The main feature that sets b2evo apart is the ability to run multiple blogs off of one install, and I didn’t need that feature.

I also wanted to get more familiar with WordPress, as I am reccomending it more and more to hosting clients. Which means they’ll probably be asking questions, and I want to have more experience working with this excellent software.

Sorry to be a pest, but please make the following changes (I do have redirects set up, but some day I’ll take them down…):

The main url has changed from http://www.alanhartung.com/blog/ to just the root: http://www.alanhartung.com/. If you link to this site, or have it bookmarked, could you change that?

If you directly link to the podcast category, that URL is now: http://www.alanhartung.com/blog/index.php/category/podcasts/. This one’s the most important to change, as the redirect isn’t ideal (the old address was index.php?cat=16 and the redirect just looks at “index.php”).

Other major changes, if you’re reading this in an RSS reader, I’m now using feedburner, and the old RSS feeds just redirect to feedburner for now. So if you could update your feed readers with these new feeds, that would be swell:

Main RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ADifferentPerspective
Comments RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ADifferentPerspectiveComments
Podcast RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/perspective-podcast

Amazingly, I was able to configure WordPress so all the URL’s from old posts are the same! So no worries if you’ve linked to posts of mine, the links still work just fine.
