I’ve almost matched my former [Movable Type] blog using [WordPress].
Here’s a list of things that still need to be done (I’ll cross them off as I go, and may add more as they come up):
# Validate XHTML 1.0 Strict.
# Fix front page (3 entries with excerpts, 5 with titles only).
# Enable unique page titles (currently all pages say “Home”).
# Fix imported entries:
** Add newlines before and after “more” links.
** Set all to “Allow Pings.”
# ‘Figure out middot before “Comments” link’:http://wordpress.org/support/3/13941 (shows up by itself on individual entry pages).
# Fix “Information” page (create two separate headstart.inc files, or fork it using a variable?).
# Bring back familiar emoticons.
# Interblog menu.
# “Commentation” sidebar — recent comments (do I really want to keep this?).
# Numbered comments.
# Comment preview.
For my [Foundation] blog, the following things will need to be figured out before a switch is possible:
# Scripture linker.
# “Edification” sidebar. Find a plugin like MT-BookQueue? One possibility: WP-Amazon. Will I need a separate blog?
Here are a few other things I’d like to add when I find the time:
# Figure out WordPress links manager — add “Interpolation” and “Correlation” sidebars. (done with [del.icio.us].)
# Figure out how to display a closing quotation mark in blockquotes. Use :first-child pseudo-class?
# Figure out Next and Previous links on archive pages.
I’m grateful for all the help I’ve received so far in switching to WordPress, and would ask that if anyone knows a quick way to cross off one or more of the above items, do let me know. Thanks.
