Musings on migration of MT 2.x to 3.1

Posted in blogging at 12:08 by nlawren

The upgrade of MT 2.6 to 3.1 was indeed painless (aside from not having the tmpl directory in the right location). Everything just worked…my existing templates were kept, entries stayed the same, the only thing I’m not sure about is whether the RSS/Atom feeds went haywire.

I then went looking for information on exactly what else might be needed to properly complete the upgrade. After all, everything stayed the same but there might be some new interesting things that I wasn’t taking advantage of. I ended up finding some very nice links indeed:

• anziblog’s Migrate Your MT 2.x Blog To Movable Type 3 page
• Learning about Trackback from Learning Movable Type - lots of other useful pages at that site as well. I intend spending a while going through the various tutorials there.

Now I need to sit down and start looking at moving the templates to seperate files so I can start putting them under subversion version control.

I then also need to keep reading my CSS book so I can start thinking about how to do a redesign of this site.
