Typo and Missing DNS Record

September 12, 2006

I was a bit premature in declaring my Typo installation a success. Though my Apache Web server virtual host configuration was correct, I was missing one important piece of the solution. In order for http://blog.derekmahar.ca to be accessible to a Web browser on the Internet, I had to add a DNS ‘A’ record to my DNS name servers at ZoneEdit.

Now that my Typo weblog is running and visible on the Web, the next step is to configure its theme and migrate content from my blog sites here at Blogsome and Bloglines. Unfortunately, unlike Wordpress 2.0, Typo does not yet provide a means to copy content from one blog site to a Typo blog site.

  1. Derek, Typo does provide a means for migrating from Wordpress (and other blogs). Look in db/converters/wordpress2.rb.

    The solution is far from ideal. So I have proposed a potential solution to the problem, comments welcome.

  2. Typo may have a WordPress to Typo database converter, but unfortunately, I don’t have access to the database that backs my blog because Blogsome hosts it on their servers. Ideally, I’d like Typo to support import of Atom or RSS content. Then I could extract my entire blog from Blogsome in Atom or RSS format and import it into my Typo blog.
