So I moved my blog, and transferred it from blogger to WordPress

I don’t know if any people were reading my blog posts of late, but it can’t be many as the links were broken. I was using google’s blogger as the back end, and using a plug-in in Rapidweaver to show my blog, but the plug in like all of it’s predecessors is no more, and hasn’t been working right. It was added a comma in the rss feed to my blog, and I couldn’t fix it. And even weirder is that the links worked fine on my machine, so I couldn’t tell it was broken (thanks Tom).

I decided to move the blog to WordPress, and have been using a plug-in to show my movie reviews within the Rapidweaver site, but it just isn’t that good. So I moved the blog completely to jonahleewalker.com but will show the latest posts on my jonahlee.com front page.

A self hosted WordPress is just so much more powerful than blogger. It has extensive plug-in support, and with google’s feedburner also being gone, much getter RSS support. So overall the blog should be better. The RSS feed is here.

Yabdab WordPress for RAPIDWEAVER Plug In, got it working!

FIXED THE ISSUE! Going to buy another copy.

I was unable to get the plug in to work and YabDab tried to help, but the exchange got more and more heated until they just refunded my money, but I have now fixed the issue.

The initial problem, it stems from my hoping I could replace my WP-Blog page so that the new page had the same address as the old page, but when I try and do that the page doesn’t show up and I figured out why, and it was because of how I used to use WP-BLOG, so I had the JSON Admin panel set to address of the page with the WP-BLOG plug in so I could access the admin panel directly from the page where the blog is. Well the YabDab WordPress plug in, that they kept telling me to enter where my wordpress install is and it wasn’t working, and that is because it works using the JSON address and not the install address, and the two can’t be the same for it to work. So to access the JSON I have to change it back to where the install is and use the URL of the install to go to the ADMIN. This is fine, but this is what the other issue I was having was. So a simple notation in the instructions would fix this issue so no one else has it.

So this was the second problem I was having. My posts were showing up as just dates, and not getting the posts to show up at all. It seems the issue was having a custom Style selected, when I switched back to THEME, the posts now show up as can be seen bellow.
