I’m feeling a little snowed under at the moment. I suspect that the blog is going to be a little neglected for the next few weeks. Here’s why:<\/p>\n
We are going to have to build the new member’s area of For The Girls from the ground up.<\/p>\n
In November 2009 when we hired the first company to do this, we hoped we could automate the build. We asked them to create a database of the 1200+ text articles inside FTG and transfer it to the new content management system. They didn’t do it. Worse, they lied for 7 months and told us they had done it. They ultimately ripped us off and wasted our time.<\/p>\n
Now our new programmer, despite his best efforts, has also been unable to achieve what we wanted. He did manage to import the text but the end result is ultimately unworkable. Titles are weird. Paragraphs and photos are missing. Some text didn’t import properly.<\/p>\n
Instead I’m going to have to edit each entry by hand, manually cut and paste every article and then add categories, tags and photos to each article. We’ll also have to hand-tag and add descriptions to every single photo set and movie inside the site.<\/p>\n
It’s a HUGE job. It’s going to take a long time. My hands and arms are already worn out. I’m quailing at the enormity of the job.<\/p>\n
I’m also kicking myself that we didn’t just do this at the very beginning. It would have been done by now.<\/p>\n
Anyway at least we have progress. We’ll get there. Just please be understanding if I’m not around here much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
