I’ve been a long time user of Joomla combined with MojoBlog (a WordPress conversion for Joomla). They work well together and provide some powerful customisation options and excellent themes. However recently the only pure Joomla functionality I’ve been using has been modules. So I got to thinking, why not switch to WordPress – from a theme perspective it’s finally caught up with Joomla, and I can replace most of my Joomla modules with WordPress widgets.

So here we are in WordPress 2.7 and it’s not half bad to be honest. I was able to import all my posts from MojoBlog via an RSS feed. However any comments were left behind, which is no great loss I guess, since there weren’t very many.

I’ve decided to give my site a lick of paint, at least for a few weeks, by making use of my RocketTheme subscription and their latest theme, hivemind. To be honest, I still prefer my heavily modified version of their colormatic theme that’s skinned my blog for almost a year, but a change is as good as a post, or something like that.

My site has now moved over to MojoBlog – an enhanced itteration of JD-WordPress. MojoBlog runs off the latest version of WordPress, and is better featured that the original JD-WordPress – rss feeds, pings, trackbacks, now work apparently – I’m not beardy enough to know what trackbacks and rpc pings are. All my modules have been updated to work with mojo, and are available to download.

I’m hosting a mojoblog demo site after receiving early beta code. I’ve adapted most of my modules to work with mojo – I’ll upload them later this week to the downloads section. I’m assuming they won’t need to change again – as that portion of Kevin’s code is near complete.

edit: Modules and Mambot now available to download.

edit: No longer hosting the demo. Will wait for a final build then upgrade my site.
