New Site, New Platform, New Domain – 10rem.net

It’s after 5am and I’m still up. Why? I just completed standing up the blog portion of my new site and I’m pretty excited. The full site migration is far from over, but the bones are there, and the blog content has been all moved over. New Site My blog (first picture below) has had roughly the same look for a number of years now. I’ve updated the background and the header graphic, but everything else has been pretty static.

Migrated from Community Server to DasBlog

If you’re reading this then you’re on my new blog homepage at http://bryantlikes.com . I’ve wanted to move off of http://blogs.sqlxml.org for some time but every time I start to work on it I get overwhelmed by the amount of work involved. I would usually get stuck on (1) how to migrate all my content and (2) where to host it since there is a lot of content and most hosting providers give you very little SQL storage. I looked at a lot of options and even setup Oxite on Azure by following this guide , but since I didn’t know what the monthly costs will be I decided not to take that route. Since I was recently awarded the MVP award I decided to look at some of the benefits and I found that Orcs Web offers a free hosting account to MVPs. I know Orcs has a great service so I was excited to give that a try, but I didn’t think their SQL storage would be enough for my blog
