Here’s a short and sweet post.

I decided, after looking at how dasBlog had slowed down over the last few months, to move my blogs to WordPress.  It was a big decision for me to make and before anyone says – hey why didn’t you use DotNetNuke?   My answer is because I have always wanted to extend my blogs to thing that are not just work related. I really feel that if you have a business website, it should be kept business.

Originally I had my blogs on my website when the DNN blogs were not quite as polished as they are now, and did think about bringing them back into DNN, and then thought – why not just have some fun with other products… and that’s exactly what I did.

I’m glad I did, it solidifies my desire to maintain DNN as the best tool to build out websites with. I found the blog setup here was far to easy to break and fortunately I had support on hand to fix up my fauxpas.

Neverthless, you can see what can be done with an out of the box wordpress theme, with a few modifications and I’m still building up the link redirects.

I thought I’d share this random moment and thought and think that it’s a great way to go for 2010.

    I completely understand trialing other software vendors that compete with DNN. I often tell clients use the best pieces of software available rather than trying to get a single vendor to “do all”. WordPress has a huge installation base from what I’ve seen. It will be interesting to see how easy it is to swap from WordPress to DNN blogs in the future.

    I don’t that is something that is possible, unless you can export to a different format, and then using xml import into dnn.
