The changes to the Media and Computers Services site here at Lied Library, which I described before, have gone live. There are still a lot of things I want to do with the site, but it needed a basic sprucing up. In conjuction with the newly revised site, my department has also launched a Media and Computer Services blog.
As I mentioned before, part of the reason I wanted to move Tombrarian to my own hosted site was to learn more about the inner workings of blogging and web design, so I do want to chronicle the changes I make along the way.
A few things I have done since moving Tombrarian:
Before: yourminis widget
After: FeedBurner links
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been playing around with a self-hosted blog site. I was able to export the existing content from Tombrarian and import it into the new site very easily. The move was as simple as using the export feature of the existing site which generates an xml file and then using the import function of the new site. I expected moving content from one WordPress blog into another to be straight-forward, but it was even easier than I expected. The process probably took less then 2 minutes.
I’m glad I was able to transfer the content because I can maintain a complete run of Tombrarian and its short-lived predecessor dating back to April 2005.
So, this will be the last post for the WordPress hosted Tombrarain. I registered www.tombrarian.net. If you would like to continue following Tombrarian, please update your links and/or reader.
