So for the past 2 years this website has been running on the CMS Joomla!. I liked it a lot playing around with Joomla!, trying some new components, making the upgrades and at the end even trying to make my own template.
But since this site is a blog actually, I think Joomla! isn’t suitable for this website at all. It is not possible to work with categories the way you work with them in a “real” blog. Joomla! works with sections wich you can devide into categories, and as soon as you move a post to the archive, the post isn’t listed in the categories list anymore. So I have been thinking about migrating the entire website to Wordpress, since it’s the best blogtool at this moment, and with wich I’ve got some experience since I am running 2 other blogs on Wordpress.
The pages with tutorials I have written for WebcamXP I can also add to Wordpress because Wordpress has the possibilities to work with pages and subpages and even categorize the pages.
I am still looking for the best options to migrate from Joomla! to Wordpress, but sofar I was only able to find 1 solution, wich only migrates the posts and not the comments. If I cannot find a good way to migrate I’ll might move this website to a subdomain, and disable the option to post comments and guestbookentries.
