Moving to Community Server
I have decided that I want to move my blog to my own site and I'm going to be
running Community Server as the
backend. Currently I'm working on skinning the site. I have finished skinning
the blog but I'm working on the forum and other parts right now. I wish
everything within Community Server
had a similar structure as the blog skinning, i.e. a layout template. I really
hate duplicating stuff I want Master Pages! That is why I decided to use Paul Wilson's version of Master
Pages. The only thing is doing that causes me to change every .aspx page in
Community Server to use the Master Page Template. I guess that is better than
changing them all everytime I want a structural change in my site.
I think I'm going to wait until Community Server version 1.1 comes
out before I go live with my site but until then I have other parts of my site I
want to work on.
I still need to decide if I want to transfer all the posts/comments on this
blog over to my new site. What do you guys think? If I do decide to transfer
what is the best tool to transfer the posts and comments? Most of the .Text to
CS converters I have seen require that you have access to the database,
which I don't have. Maybe it will be better to selectively go through my posts
and copy over the best ones.
