What’s the deal with this site?

So some of you may wonder what is going on with this site. You may think you were coming to Kate’s site, or to Chris’s site. You did.

It became too much of a hassle with two different Wordpress installations and two different Gallery2 installations to keep it all updated, so we are combining it all into this one site, www.chrisandkatewheeler.com. So that is what the deal is.

EDIT: Thanks to Candace for mentioning updating her bookmark. Everyone, make sure you edit your bookmark!

    Ah-ha! So that’s why you wanted to merge two databases. ;-)
    Did it work, by the way? I hope you didn’t have to do all of this manually…

    Indeed, this is why.

    So here is what I did:

    1. Upgraded both old blogs to the new version of WordPress.
    2. Exported my wife’s posts into a file, then imported that file into my old blog.
    3. Then I installed this new version, and just copied the database over.

    It worked fairly seamlessly, except the Gallery2 thing. I couldn’t upgrade the old gallery to the new version, but there weren’t many pictures, so I just installed the new version here and reuploaded the pictures. It took maybe about an hour to do the whole process, once I figured out in my head what I needed to do.

    Now I won’t have to worry about keeping 2 Wordpresses and 2 Gallery2s updated. That was such a pain.

    NICE!!

    I so wish I could combine all my sites into one, but I do think that would be impossible lol

    Good job Chris :)

    Okay. My bookmark is updated, so don’t forget to tell me if you decide to mess with my head some more and change something else. What I am really concerned about is that you will post on one of those old sites and I will miss something important. We will be in Iowa for the next holiday that school is canceled for–Memorial Day(not Earth, Mother’s, Cinco de Mayo, or Arbor–is Arbor Day over Memorial Day weekend?). Hope to see you soon.

    I don’t even know what Arbor Day is. Is that with trees or something?

    Anyways, you needn’t worry that you’ll miss anything. Those old sites are no longer. They just merely point here, to the real site. This is the new site.

    See you on Memorial Day.
