With Gentoo very likely to drop support for Wordpress soon, it seemed the right time to find an alternative blogging package to use. As we use b2evolution for hosting developer blogs for Gentoo, it seemed a good idea to give it a go. It took about an hour to write a script to import all my blog entries from Wordpress, and we’re up and running.

Switching to b2evolution brings with it a neat feature. Instead of having just one blog (which was aggregated on Planet Gentoo, I can now have a separate blog for Gentoo, and another one for the rest of my life. (Some of the Gentoo devs complain bitterly when non-Gentoo postings appear on Planet Gentoo. What dull lives they must lead!)

So, Dad, if you’re reading this, you can keep your eye on the Personal diary, which mean a lot more to you than my Gentoo diary.
