I’d been being stupid–I was trying to manually type in all the old site updates out of my old annathepiper.org MySQL database, the thing I’d set up to really kind of be a blog before I had a blog. But I finally figured out what I’d need to do to just do a data dump out of MySQL and then an import into WordPress. I still then had to go through all the entries and put titles, categories, and tags on them, but that did at least make the whole process go rather faster.

So yeah, all my old updates are now here on the WordPress edition of this site, and you can see the tag cloud down on the sidebar on the left. Lots and lots of tags in particular pertaining to my various roleplay logs from days of yore.

Still to come: I still need to port the rest of the old site pages in, and eventually, I’m going to pull my archive of Two Moons MUSH logs back over into this logs archive as well, just to have them all in the same place. But this’ll do me for today’s round of updates.

It’s been a while since I bothered to update annathepiper.org, my original personal webpage. But as y’all who’ve been following my LJ know, I’ve recently learned how to use WordPress, and so I thought I’d give my original page a general overhaul too.

The vast majority of my active web attention these days has gone to my LJ as well as my new writing site. But for the sake of posterity I’m keeping annathepiper.org up too. It mostly serves as an archive for my history of MUSHing and some of my other favorite fannish things. (If the words “Great Big Sea” come to mind for you when I say that, they would be appropriate.)

I’ll be experimenting with trying to roll the pages from the last version of this site into WordPress, though getting the logs database accessible from here promises to be fun. And by fun I mean, “difficult to code”. But it’ll be an interesting learning experience to see if I can take the PHP I originally wrote to search my logs database and integrate it as some sort of WordPress plugin thingie. (Which I doubt will be interesting to anybody but me, since I figure there are maybe about three people on the planet who may actually still be interested in reading my logs, but hey! Who knows?)

Anyway, if you’re reading this mirrored off my LJ or one of my LJ-clone accounts, feel free to wander by annathepiper.org occasionally. But mind the dust. I’m cleaning up!
