The Real Blogger Status / WordPress Edition #1

The Real Blogger Status / WordPress Edition is now online.

All I did was run a script from the WordPress Dashboard - Import. It was predictable, and simple.

• Indicate Blogger as my blog host.
  
• Backup settings in blogs being imported.
  
• Log out of Blogger, from the Dashboard.
  
• Log in to Blogger, thru the Import script.
  
• Select the blog to be imported, from my Blogger blog list.
  
• Watch and pray.
  
• This blog is not terribly large, just a few pictures (no, actually just 1), and maybe 50 posts. It took a good 5 minutes, with a nice console type display showing what was going on.
  
• The Import script finished, and that was that.
  

Having finished, I now have a blog in WordPress. That being said, it's just a blog.

• Look at this blog, almost every post contains a link to another post. This is not a blog. I don't write blogs, I write hypertext documents, using a blog framework. The concept of hypertext uses articles linked to each other, as the web itself is constructed.
  
  All of the links in The Real Blogger Status / WordPress Edition, to other articles in The Real Blogger Status, point back to this blog, The Real Blogger Status / Blogger Edition.
  
  As a pure blog, this website is practically useless. As a mirror to The Real Blogger Status / Blogger Edition, The Real Blogger Status / WordPress Edition is practically useless. All of the links in the latter point back here.
  
  When there's a Blogger outage, telling folks to refer to The Real Blogger Status / WordPress Edition will be a waste of time.
  
  
• None of my sidebar content was imported. None of the links to my important articles, nor to my other blogs, or friends blogs, was imported.
  
  
• None of my tracking links - neither Performancing, SiteMeter, nor StatCounter - were imported.
  

All in all, a brief and disappointing exercise. It's pretty - check it out. But there's lots more to be done, before The Real Blogger Status / WordPress Edition can be seen as a mirror to The Real Blogger Status / Blogger Edition.
