You're doing it wrong.

New Blog Design / Platform

My blog is now running on Graffiti.  I also updated the design a little bit.  I decided that after the lack of stability on my VPS with Go Daddy that I’d try out a real host.  So I’ve moved my blog over to ORCS Web.  So far, things are great.

Graffiti has a tool to import posts from DasBlog, which is nice, however I wanted to preserve all of my old posts.  A simple lookup table, joined with the new Graffiti Posts table gave me the information I needed to map the URLs.  Then I created an HttpModule to intercept requests for the old URLs and 301 redirect them to the new ones.

I tested about 20 URLs and it worked fine for me, but if you notice a post that no longer works, please let me know!

What do you think of the new blog?
