The new blog software is gradually coming to life. I’ve got tags and RSS working, plus moved some articles to Textile and added redirects from their old URLs. I didn’t map WordPress categories to new tags because I didn’t see the point – it will be better for me to later tag every post manually, since I’ll add some new tags anyway.

Per-tag RSS redirects from the old address for the purposes of Planet Ubuntu, but global RSS doesn’t. Therefore, if you’re using RSS on this site, you should update your client to use the new URL as linked from the sidebar.

Two pages are also available at new addresses (with redirects from the old ones):

• The Expanded Otomeverse

• Time Travel in Stargate SG-1

The “Mai-Otome GEMs” article, originally saved from Wikipedia, is now available at this address on Wikia’s Mai-HiME Wiki.

To convert HTML (as used by WordPress) to Textile (as used by the new software), I use this Python script, originally downloaded from here and tweaked to read HTML from stdin and write Textile to stdout.

To determine what legacy URLs need to be mapped, I use the public inbound links page. What, you didn’t expect it to be public? Well, both the QDB and Sideways Spa contain one each as well, and admins can see your IPs. Be warned.

What needs to be done:

• Archive
• Tag cloud

• More articles
