In a twilight state of mind

So – I may have bitten off more than I can chew here.

Today, I got myself a new web host at MacHighway. They were offering 6 months free webhosting for Freeway Express users, so I finally decided to take them up on that offer, as I needed to move from Posterous.

I also moved my Posterous web site from Posterous to WordPress. The importer did not work properly – like in, at all! -, and after going through some support FAQs, I used a beta version of the importer (by downloading it, then copy-and-pasting it into a web form on the WordPress dashboard), and managed to import it.

However, all the images are the wrong resolution. That is apparently a known problem with the import. Also, of course, the default WordPress theme kinda sucks.

So I may need either to update every image manually – I don’t have that many posts, thankfully – but I have no idea yet how – or try a different way of importing, via first importing to the WordPress.com website, and then import again from there.

All of this sounds like I know what I am doing – and honestly, I have no frickin’ idea!

Scary and exciting.

(And this post may disappear after trying another import… But the sentiment remains!)
