How to Move WordPress Quickly
You can take this tutorial with a grain of salt. I have always thought that the "right" way to do things takes a little bit too long. But then again, I end up making a lot of mistakes. So I guess I could say I have learned a lot. But this move went without a hitch once I discovered everything that needed done.
First, install WordPress on your new server. You can usually do this through Fantastico if you have cPanel. But check the version of WordPress that you are installing. For some reason, my Fantasico installation showed an older version of WordPress, even though I updated it before I started this. So I had to upload and install it manually.
Moving Day
This is going to be a quick post of thing I will be doing this weekend, if possible.
I am going to be moving this blog over the weekend. I will still try to post during the process. And I may take advantage of the Drupal WordPress Module. I wind then run this blog on the front page of a Drupal installation and work on Drupal in the background over the next few months. There will be so much more I can do with the two together.
