That was a longer break from blogging than I originally planned. I’d been meaning to use the time after I got back from my short retreat to switch this blog to a different server but, since I don’t spend my working life in web development any more, it took quite a while to figure out the best way to do it. In the end, I exported all the posts and contents from the existing set up and imported it over here. I didn’t want to carry the cruft of a decade or more on WordPress forward and it looks like this was a pretty straightforward way to do it.

Now onto the next challenge, of getting the old web address to point to the new server. This post will serve as a “canary” – once I see it on the old address, I’ll know that it has worked and I’ll probably be back to regular service.
