Easy Way To Design Your Own WordPress Theme – Free WordPress Tutorial Introduction
May 6th
Hey hey
This is a spare time project for me; putting together a new WordPress theme for my band website over at www.greenballflyers.com. The Green Ball Flyers website is currently running on BlogEngine.net but we’re moving that to WordPress as we speak.
We have the design done and I’m going to convert it from a layered PSD file into a fully functional, widget enabled and SEO friendly WordPress Theme using quality HTML & CSS techniques. I may make the Green Ball Flyers theme downloadable as a theme for your WordPress site in due course too, so you can spread the word; but for the most part More >

I already have some great people lined up to blog, but before I set this up I’ve been wanting to tweak the blog theme to include custom author information after each post, so that of course the bloggers get proper credit and backlinks.

Migrating easily from BlogEngine.Net to WordPress
Jan 6th
Just before Christmas we posted a blog called Migrating from BlogEngine.net to WordPress – first thoughts and why we did it; now it’s time for the how..
We couldn’t find too much on the subject and if you do a Google search for “Migrating from BlogEngine to WordPress” there isn’t too much information, with a few exceptions:
- A couple of posts from the ever informative WayneJohn: Migrating from BlogEngine to WordPress and Migrating Blog Post Images from BlogEngine to WordPress.
- my6solutions have a good BlogEngine to WordPress migration post on their blog
- The best post on this subject I think though is Merill.net’s Migrating from BlogEngine to WordPress post

Migrating from BlogEngine.net to WordPress – first thoughts and why we did it.
Dec 22nd
Well I’ve spent today switching from BlogEngine to WordPress and you know what, it’s not been bad.
I’ll maybe put a write up on here of the experiences but I guess there might not be too much to write.
I’ve always played around with WordPress and implemented it for clients, but being the .net geezer I am (even more so now I’ve fallen in love with mojoPortal) I always went for BlogEngine.
The reason I switched to WordPress was simple, and two fold: BlogEngine didn’t have enough themes or plugins. Of course we could make our own, but why reinvent the wheel? We do build More >
