This is a test of a WordPress to Facebook plugin. Testing from my personal blog in case it blows up. Several clients want this now, and I hope it works flawlessly. I think it will work better with a photo in the post, but often the posts from clients won’t have photos, so curious what it will do.
Well straight off it pulled a thumbnail from my sidebar to use. I guess each client will need a ‘special’ image to tell it to pull if no images are in the post.
Doesn’t seem to have any problems that I have found yet.
I will need to do some major reconfiguring of content and php templates to use the new Twenty-10 theme, so that will be the next push.

All the old content is now updated to WordPress. I have added spam blocking and will be testing commenting. I haven’t removed the old MT site or database yet either, want to make sure all is working good before I do that. I still need to tweak this theme some especially sidebars .. but there is always time to do that!
I will wait for WP 3.0 to come out now before I go to work on my other sites, especially Creationdreams.net.
I hope if you come around here that you will leave a comment.
Ok, it’s painfully obvious to me that I need a different comment form.
Not really happy with the way this theme and my changes are working out. But I want to get to the transfer of content. I figure that once I have everything transferred to WP, I can then take the time to find or make a new theme that I will want to use going forward.
As I pull more and more content from old MT blog into this WP theme, I realize I need more room and better photo layouts. Especially for anything ‘new’… so this too is just a work in progress!
After working all day yesterday tweaking the style sheet for styling, today after login in I am being taken to an ‘old’ front page of OnMyBeat in MT! How strange as I removed the file from the server and checked that is was still there.
My hosting providers must have done a reboot of some kind and replaced it. Will have to contact Annette and ask, but off to town for the moment.
Oh and I have a ‘jump’ when clicking on the header that just showed up as well. Will have to have someone trouble shoot that one for me.
Apparently I can just write with out adding p tags and just use a enter tab to get a paragraph break.
And many admin settings to tweak before I even start bringing the old content over here.
I sort of like all the colors here, my old blog was very ‘zenish’ and boring.. but in 2003 that was the direction the web was leaning at that time. I am so glad to see a lot of new themes out there that have great graphics.
This process may take a lot of time. [this is now done]
I will try to do this transfer as quickly as possible.
But I still have to get a WordPress theme into place before I start that part. Yes I could of hidden all this, but really how many people really check in here? I hope to change that with a WP install, and comments live again.
I am going to go with this super simple and plain theme to start. I will do some colors/ fonts/ backgrounds/images and such customizing then get to the process of transferring all the posts and images.
