I have the new blog set up and ready to go on my account. It looks great and I can’t wait to transition fully to WordPress. So the heads up is that the eMomsatHome site will be down for a little bit this 4th of July holiday weekend so that I can change my nameservers to the new Yahoo site.

The transition from NucleusCMS was tedious, but easy. Here’s what I had to do:

Set up WordPress, which is easy on Yahoo’s hosting because they have it preinstalled on their servers.
Adjust the template to make it look as much as possible like the rest of the eMoms site.
Add my Google AdSense ads, which was definitely a challenge as I really don’t know php, and the plugin to make it easy wouldn’t work. But I got it accomplished.
Export the Nucleus content and Import into WordPress via RSS. There were a couple of scripts out there to do it automatically, but I don’t know the first thing about running a script, so that was useless to me.
This was the tedious part. Every blog entry came imported into WordPress with the first sentence or paragraph missing. So I had to go back manually and add back in the missing content
The second tedious part was that my Technorati tags didn’t transfer well at all. All of the two word tags came through with a question mark in the middle. So I had to change every two word tag in each post from “my?tag” to “my+tag”. What a pain!

All in all, it was a good experience, and I am SO glad I did it with less than three month’s worth of posts to move. If I had a year’s worth, I think I would have hired it out - which would have been expensive.

Stay tuned! New Blog coming soon!!
