A couple days ago on 9/30, I tried to make a post on WebPageless but got an odd error. After trying repeatedly, I noticed it now said WebPageless had zero entries. When I listed the posts, it saw all of them except the most recent five. Trying to edit any old entry failed though.

It appeared the database was corrupted.

Luckily, I had backed up all my entries a month earlier. Because I was using an incredibly out-dated version of Movable Type, it seemed like a good time to upgrade. I decided to go with WordPress, which is what I’m using on my two other blogs – Korkron501st and Polygons and Pixels. Those two sites are hosted on WordPress servers though, so this would be a little different. I’d be installing the WordPress software on WebPageless.

The installation was relatively easy, and it imported by entries from Movable Type easily. I had to manually add the posts from the last month, but it wasn’t too difficult. Movable Type didn’t have tags, so I added some tags and reorganized things a bit. And now here we are.

It feels a little odd to have something that looks like a standard blog rather than something custom, but WebPageless never had a custom backend anyways, and the front looked amateur-ish. I guess it’s not a big loss. I can always do more customization here anyways.
