Following several months working with Drupal including some contract programming work and several existing client migrations, I've decided to migrate my own blog from Wordpress.

While Wordpress is a pretty effective blogging platform, I'd always had issues with the WPOpenID plugin - which I found particularly galling as I'm actually being employed by a client to do some OpenID-related work at the moment.  I know, I could have poked about with it, figured out what's wrong and submitted a fix ... but I just kept finding better things to do with my spare time.

So, with our work efforts predominantly going into Drupal at the moment, I took the plunge.  The Wordpress Import module was a great help with this although I have had to go through and clean up some of the links, etc.  I also took the opportunity to clear out some of my more naff posts and generally tidy things up a bit.

The only thing the Wordpress Import module didn't do was import my old Wordpress users/commenters.  Admittedly there weren't too many of you, so my apologies to anyone who actually comes back here to post another comment and finds they have to re-register.  On the subject of comments, I've re-enabled anonymous commenting using ReCaptcha to try and keep the spam down.  I'll see how it goes for a while and keep it like that if it works.  Registered users won't see the captcha form.
