bloggingsMy evenings have been filled with work and evening classes recently, so I’ve not been able to see any shows, hence this blog has gone quiet. The advantage of blogging is that it is entirely voluntary, no one is expecting me to supply a weekly review, and if I see a show I really don’t [...]
The next village is a lovely idea – a line from Kafka, and people are asked to respond to it in various ways. Keith Ridgway asked me to get involved and I thought that doing something with audio would be good. Then I realised that there was something I had already done in Italy on [...]
The Arts Council New Media Conference was a very enjoyable day, not least because there was a lot of optimism around, people were very friendly, and there was a real interest in the topic. Perhaps those interested in the arts know, more than most, who invention’s mother is, and, as we are bracing ourselves for [...]
Am spending the day in Dublin Castle at the Arts Council New Media Conference. It seems to be a lively and interesting crowd, with enough differing viewpoints to make it a very worthwhile day. I had a fab dinner with some of the other speakers last night, cooked by Niall Harbison of ifoods.tv.

These posts have been a rambling account of my journey migrating my blog/podcast to WordPress. There have been some dead ends and some wasted effort, and some of these have been because the posts I have found describing similar journeys are out of date, and their authors [...]

In summary, the options for importing blogger to Wordpress I have discovered are:
The Blogger import tool on Wordpress.com. As recommended by T. Jantunen.com and Ronald Lewis, I set up a temporary account on wordpress.com to use its import tool, with the intention of then exporting it to [...]
I’m back in Ireland and, given the apalling absence of summer, I’m settling down to the grim and tedious business of migrating my blog to Wordpress. It’s been a decision made reluctantly, as Blogger is easy and reliable. But I’ve tinkered with the pre-beta template there so much that upgrading to a new layout will [...]
