dasBlog Migration

I have been considering changing Elegant Code over to dasBlog for some time now. 
I would like to thank Aaron Junod for making this decision much easier for me. 
He provides the DotText2DasBlog utility that converted all of my posts and
comments from .Text.

Why I Am Changing

Simple, I want to try something else for awhile.  I realize that .Text has supposedly
been picked up as a new open source project, but frankly I still don’t need
the multi-blog support of .Text.  This also is a valid reason for not going the
Community Server route.  I don’t care about galleries or forums provided by CS,
either.  That said, I am using CS on a project at work, where I want to deploy
an enterprise blog engine and for that level of management, CS is a great solution.

No database!  This is also a cool part of dasBlog.

Other Issues

I haven’t finished setting up all of the configurable items of dasBlog yet, so my
blogroll and other links need to be added.  I think my .Text instance will have
to be up and running for awhile as I have a lot of images in the galleries that I
am linking to.  Also, search hits via Google will have to be updated.  I
am not sure how long that will take to trickle through the system.

RSS Feed & Stuff

If I am lucky enough that someone has aggregated me, they will need to change to the
new feed URL provided by dasBlog.
