Here’s how we are going with the site migration from Joomla! to WordPress:

*WordPress Installed: OK

*Posts migrated: OK

*Posts configured (categorized, tagged…): NOT DONE YET

Don’t expect too many new posts over the next week or so. It is really hard work going over every post ever made and configuring it for WordPress.

We are currently migrating The Apple Daily Times, it’s posts and content from Joomla! to WordPress. This is not easy, as every single post needs to be changed in some way or another.

One of the issues when making this transition is that all the posts have today’s date on them, posts which should have been made ages ago. This is because when importing them from the Joomla! database, WordPress just dates them with the current date and time. So think before leaving stupid comments like a certain individual did.

From Tim Cook, to Jonathon Ive. According to the article, Tim Cook appears to be the most appropriate for the job although it is evident around the Internet that many believe the next CEO will be Jonathan Ive.
