NOTE: I have long switched back to Wordpress for the photoblog and doesn’t use Pixelpost anymore. Also, Ramin Mehran’s script doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Pixelpost, in the end, proved to be a much better photoblogging tool than current implementations of Wordpress like Pictorialis. Its much simpler and has a great community of developers as well as users that make it a viable alternative. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have anything against Wordpress which is a great regular blogging software. Its just that I haven’t found a template that will fit my photoblogging needs.
I started testing Pixelpost Friday night and until Saturday, while I was successful in installing it, Ramin Mehran’s, script, Import from Wordpress to Pixelpost just seemed not to work without errors. I was already getting exasparated that I just posted at the Pixelpost forum about my problem as well as emailed Ramin. Nice thing about it was that he was quick to reply. Since I still experienced problems with it, I then had him access my server files to take a look on what’s the problem. Fortunately, he has found it, made adjustments, and voila! My photoblog, Binary Silver was now migrated to Pixelpost. I just have to make some minor adjustments as some comments were repeated on all posts.
To Ramin Mehran, one of the developers of Pixelpost 1.4, my wholeheartfelt thanx for your help. You’re a godsend!
