Blogger to DasBlog

Thinking about moving to DasBlog. As a matter of fact, I've got DasBlog installed in the machine I'm running at home. Just toying around with it. Getting the feel of how it runs. So far, I think I like it.

What I like the most about DasBlog is it's storage system. No database is required. It uses XML as it's storage. One less software to install. Here's an overview from Dasblog's website.

DasBlog 1.0 is a weblog engine derived from Chris Anderson's BlogX and built on top of ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework. DasBlog is a simple content management and content presentation system that allows simple, chronological and categorized management of usually small notes and articles. To allow aggreation of the content using common tools, the system supports the RSS 2.0 format, which can be generated for several types of views, including the "front page", per-category views, and a view for the comments on every article.

Moving from blogger to DasBlog would require an export of some sort from Blogger database to DasBlog. Thus, a Google was performed. The google result did not dissapoint. The first two results provided me with the solution I'd require to move my blog from Blogger to DasBlog. The first is a template mod to redirect all hits on blogger to the actual site automatically. The other is the export method and utility. Will have to try it out first though, before I actually do the blog migration.

Actually, wayyyyy before I begin this exercise, will need to bring up the Kodeexii.Net server first. Heheh.. Think it's almost renewal time too. Is my salary in yet? Hmmmmmm
