I imagine those few who have wandered over this way (and my regulars) are getting tired of non-animé posting on an animé blog, but I’m still deep into setup mode here. Good progress today; I got all the screencap directories set up, and all the pictures uploaded from the original site. I even managed to get the pictures re-linked in one of the posts, and do some minor editing in three to clear up the occasional awkward sentence. Getting most of the rest of the pictures re-linked actually isn’t going to be that difficult, and should take me only another week or so. It would probably go quicker, but I’ll be playing Magic again this weekend. It’s the release of Time Spiral!
Unfortunately, that’s the good news. The bad news is that moving the comments just may not happen. There are over 500 comments on Houblog to sort among, and I am not good enough at sql to write a query that will extract only the anime ones, or even the comments for a single post. Then there’s the slight matter of editing the reference fields of each one to match the re-numbered posts. (Remind me again, just why did I do that?) Finally, I’m not sure what would happen if the comment_count (or whatever its name is) field in the Post table didn’t match the number of comments linked to any particular record in Post. The WP software might get buggy, cats and dogs start living together, the sun rise in the west, or Congress start employing lolis as pages. (If it’s psycho Shion, and I get to pick the congressperson she works for, I could agree to that….)
Here, admire Kuriko’s garters for a while.
