WEEK 1, DAY 5
Today, I spent the majority of my time migrating the blog section of my website (this section you’re reading) from Blogger to WordPress. In a few weeks, Google will no longer be supporting ftp blogs, but will still host blogs on their blogspot servers. The Blogger setup is so easy to use, but I’d much rather use my own web host of choice. I’ve spent hours and hours tweaking a WordPress theme to look like my original blog and website – and I’m still not even done yet.
mi⋅grate
/ˈmaɪgreɪt/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [mahy-greyt]
–verb (used without object), -grat⋅ed, -grat⋅ing.
1. to go from one country, region, or place to another.
2. to pass periodically from one region or climate to another, as certain birds, fishes, and animals: The birds migrate southward in the winter.
3. to shift, as from one system, mode of operation, or enterprise to another.
I generally tend to think of migration not just as a move, but as a move to/towards something better. I suppose it’s also a move in search of someplace that is simply conducive to existing.
