Comment on Not-so-Amish Friendship Bread Instructions by The Raven

I make mine without pudding–and while I feed it with white flour, I add all whole wheat flour in the recipe. I like the texture better (less gummy), and the flavor is nuttier. Works perfectly!

No I hadn’t done anything like Haloscan or anything else non-standard with the comments. The program runs, I see the progress line, all the posts come over, comments transferred remains at 0 and it’s done. I’ve asked a friend of mine to poke through Wordpress support forums and he says he’s seen messages from others who had problems importing comments but no solutions.

@Spike—I’m glad it worked for you!

I’m not sure what happened to your comments; I haven’t heard of this problem before. Did you have them through another service, like Haloscan?

Yesterday I migrated my blog from Blogger to WordPress. I used your post here as my primary guide. It is incredibly useful and helpful. I’ve also given you a “thanks” on my blog and also writing to you here to say THANKS!

My one problem is that when I migrated everything over, the posts all came, links seem okay, and most if not all of the photos also came. But none of the comments! Anyone have any tips on that?

Comment on Where do you get stuck blogging? by Terresa Wellborn

PS: Responding to the comment about pictures…

I spend huge blocks of time online searching for visual images that are striking/captivating and that fit the theme/feel of my blog. Then I label them and save them in a “Blog picts” file. From there, I’ve further subdivided them in order to access and scan them quickly for the perfect picture to match my poem, essay, etc. It’s a lot of work, but I feel that the visual part of my blog (erm, any blog?) is almost as important as the written word.

Just my .02.

I, too, have quite a few (about 75) blog posts that I’ve written up, which are almost ready to post. I also have a “Blog ideas” doc where I keep a running list of the top 25 or so docs I’d like to further develop and/or post.

My “Blog ideas” doc is broken into sections:
*Ready to post (essays/writing exercises)
*Poetry
*quotes
*Pictures to develop into a post
*Future ideas

Because my blog alternates between samples of my writing exercises, poetry, quotes, and art/visual images, that organizational scheme seems to work well for me (I’m a professional Librarian, can you already tell at this point?).

Having my ideas broken down into sections usually helps me in deciding what to blog about that day. It’s like having an outline that I change periodically, adding and taking away from (once I’ve posted something).

I struggle with this all of the time! I need help in this area! I seem to find myself in a rut quite often actually so if you get any brilliant ideas here I would love to read them!

My blogging seems to come in waves! Some days I can type up several and other days it seems I cannot type two words.

I like what Elisa said about only have a handful in her draft box. Maybe focusing on a few at a time might make it easier to actually get something ready to be posted. I also feel as if I have made progress if I can get several started. So maybe setting a limit on how many drafts you hold might make a difference. Just something to ponder……
