So I got an email from Sean just after I posted on A Girl finding her new found freedom. He had a domain but hadn’t been able to figure out how to effectively migrate from blogger.
A Girl’s success gave him renewed vigor. I exchanged a couple emails and bootstrapped the blog last night. This morning he got the content moved over but we had some issues getting the feed and redirects done.
Yeah, some of that was my fault, I screwed up his URL and did .org instead of .com, and missed something in the Template. Thankfully though he couldn’t get the template to go in correctly. We went back and forth in emails and he gave me admin access to go take a look. Well it took me a couple minutes of looking around but I got it straightened out.
Sean has now officially crossed the fold to the dark side. I put a fresh batch of cookies on the counter.
So, I hinted at it a little bit in the post about A Girl, but I think I’ll let a little more out of the bag now that I mainly just need to finish up things like the Terms of Service documents and some how-to guides and other general information.
So, any gun bloggers out there, or people interested in gun blogging that don’t want to deal with Google blogger, I am finishing an alternative. You will be able to import all your content from Blogger, and there will be a how-to guide to redirect your traffic.
I have no idea how many are interested in such a thing. If it is popular enough I am probably eventually going to move into a full virtual host and will resell hosting and support. Is there any interest in such a service throughout the community of bloggers wishing to ditch specific services or ease the time they spend on it?
TMM is the owner, editor, and principal author at The Minuteman, a competitive shooter, and staff member for Boomershoot. Even in his free time he’s merging his love and knowledge of computers and technology with his love of firearms.
Many know his private name and information however due to the current political climate, many are distancing themselves due to the abandonment of Due Process.
Thanks for the help. I’m still moving some of the boxes around and getting it all unpacked, but I think I can live there.
Good for him. Mine still has that new blog smell…I like it!
