The Transition Begins (Updated)

Final Update 12am: I’m aborting for now. We’ll try this again in a couple days when the domain transfer/nameservers issue gets straightened out. 

I’ve opened comments back up for the last couple weeks of posts. Unfortunately the others will be closed until we move over to the new site.

Thanks everyone for your patience!

I’m currently switching over to the new design and hosting. I’ve closed all comments so that nothing is lost in the transfer. It will take a few hours for things to be normal again. I’ll try and update this as things come along.

In the meantime, check out these blogs:

• Cynical-C
• Friendly Atheist
• J-Walk

Update 8pm: Ran into a domain transfer issue. I’m not able to change the nameservers since I’m in the middle of a transfer. I’ve contacted WordPress support since the domain company they use won’t talk to me. This may end up stalling things until early next week, but I’m going forward with the import into the new blog in case support surprises me and can resolve this issue tonight.

Update 9:30pm: Have the new database imported. It wouldn’t import through phpmysql so I had to do it through SSH. Now I’m importing the comments into IntenseDebate which will probably take a while. The domain issue still isn’t looking good, though, so all this work may need to be done again if I have to wait a couple more days. Sigh.

Update: 10:30pm: IntenseDebate import is 25% complete. Still cannot change nameservers. And some DB glitch made all my youtube videos disappear which were working. Ugh.
