Always Crispy

Hey all,

I have changed cities and websites again! A bit of a coincidence that I have done both at the same time again. I have migrated off of Drupal and onto Tumblr. Drupal has been good to me but I just do not have time to maintain it on my server anymore especially since I only had a single Website running on it. I really like Tumblr as a platform and it is super convenient so that is why I am using it for now.

You will notice that I was able to import all my old blog posts. Tumblr does not import blog posts natively so I wrote a Web app to do it for me. I posted it to my GitHub, Blog Teleporter. It is a pretty simple app that crawls Drupal blogs (for now) and posts them to Tumblr. There are a few things I need to tighten up on it but it runs end to end and can be easily extended to crawl other blog platforms. I think I am going to add in one more platform before I declare it a version 1.0. You might notice that all of my old posts have a new tag, teleporter. My app added it so you can easily see which posts you have imported. That allows for easy rollbacks on Tumblr in case there is a problem importing. 

That is basically why I have not made any posts in the past few months. The combination of me getting a new job, handing off the old one, and promising myself to not post until I migrated off of Drupal did it. There are a lot of goodies in my Blog Teleporter though and I will be posting about them shortly.

If you want to migrate your blog onto Tumblr and my Blog Teleporter does not support your platform, just let me know. I am happy to add it as another feature.
