Home Construction Improvement Changes
Over the coming month or two I’ll be in the process of moving Home Construction Improvement and Today’s Green Construction over to my own hosting site and changing over to WordPress. This is a rather large project and one that will take up quite a bit of my time so the number of posts will probably drop for a bit. I’m making this move for many reasons but the biggest one is due to the success of these blogs. I want to continue with that success and it only makes sense to move to a move stable and powerful blogging platform.
Today’s Green Construction will make the move first. I’ll be doing this to test the waters and learn the ups and downs of migrating to WordPress. Once the move happens you shouldn’t notice any changes other then the layout of the sites. All the great home improvement posts will still be accessible and you shouldn’t see any changes in the URL’s. Wish me luck!

Todd,
Good Luck! I remember my migration process, it all worked out in the end (although at one point, it didn’t seem like it would). I am not that familiar with blogger, but if you need any help with word press, let me know, I’ve been using it for a few years and have learned a few things along the way.
@ Paul – Thanks! I know it’s for the better….it will just take time. I’m doing the move to a local server on my PC first….to make sure I get everything moved. The hardest part will be learning PHP and some of the different ways things are programmed.
Good luck, Todd. Don’t overlook ways to reduce bandwidth demands on your core server such as offloading images to something like Flickr, consolidating CSS and JS files, enabling Gzip compression, etc.
I’m just finishing up a Drupal module for Brooklynrowhouse that replaces the stock “Who’s Online” with one that reads the user’s environment. That eliminated one database query per page load and noticeably improved performance.
@ Brooklyn Row House – Thanks for the tips. I’m such a rookie with all this programming stuff….I stumble my way through it.
Best of Luck and I hope you get success in your plans.
Good luck Todd, I have just recently launched a site that I hope will be useful in the construction field. Your site looks good and is useful.
