Advice on moving a blog-heavy site to BC

I have a client with a news site built on WordPress. The site has more than 3,000 articles, or blog posts. Actually, the entire site is really blog posts arranged into various categories.
This site is very successful, garnering more than 30 million visits annually.
Needs for the site include posting particular ads to appear only with particular blog posts; scheduling a day and time for posts to appear; having posts that meet certain criteria appear on the home page; and breaking posts into multi-page articles. 
My question: Is this kind of blog-intensive site appropriate for BC?
To be more clear, I am the content provider for this site. My team uses Wordpress to post a half dozen articles a day. The clients new web development agency is a BC company and they think the site would work well in BC.
I can't get into whether or not the client should make this transition. My question is if BC can handle the requirements I've laid out above.
For what it's worth, future needs for the Backend include the ability to notify an editor when a story is ready to be edited, and the ability for an author to choose what article abstracts ("other articles you might like") appear on the sidebar for his posts.
If anyone wants the URL for the site to take a closer look, pm me and I'll send it to you.
Thanks in advance for any input! There's a lot riding on this, so your feedback is welcome.

I would never have thought of using playlists.
Is that practical adding more than a thousand albums to a playlist?
And then to drag the playlist to "new media folder's Automatically Add to iTunes folder using your current library".
Presumably copying many thousands of files at once?
And ttg27... thanks for the pointers to the tt2's scripts.... sounds very useful.
Could either of you comment on a new idea I have had.....
Keep the old iTunes open and work down through the list of albums in iTunes one at a time.
Any album that I want to move (as I don't have the corresponding CD), i move that folder using explorer to the new disk drive.  [by MOVING rather than copying, then those tunes in iTunes will appear as 'missing' so i know these have been moved already.
Any single tracks (identified as an album with 1 track) that I don't want to keep, I just delete it within iTunes (or Explorer) as I work down through the list.
So gradually the old iTunes library becomes smaller and smaller, as the content files are either moved or deleted.
Would that work and would it be safer that moving files in batches using Playlists?
By the way, is there some easy way that I can count the number of albums that I have in my iTunes library so that at least I will have an idea of how much work is ahead of me ? ;-)
Thanks for your suggestions!,
Really appreciated.

  • Advice on moving OAS 10.1.2.0.0 to 10.1.2.0.2 on another server

    I am looking for advice on moving 2 Portal applications including 120 users and 3 external applications from one windows server to another (Windows Server 2003). The existing OAS version is 10.1.2.0.0, and the infrastructure database has been patched up to version 10.1.0.4.0. Both the Infrastructure and Middle Tier reside on the same server.
    - What is the best way of moving the Portal applications including the 120 Portal users to the new server? Using Portal export / import and Transport Sets, or is there another preferred method? And what about the Portal users, what is the best method of recreating them on the new installation, keeping their users properties like password and password policies etc.?
    - Is it a good idea to install OAS 10.1.2.0.2 on the new server to start using the newer version, or will that create problems when migrating the Portal applications including the Portal users? I belive the old Infrastructure database has to be patched up to version 10.1.0.4.2 before exporting the Page Groups from the old server, so the two Infrastructure databases use the same version. But is there any other issues / problems that I need to be aware of in the migration process?
    I appreciate any help and good advice on these issues - Thanks in advance.

  • Outlook lost connection when load balanced CAS array name was moved to different AD site and data centre

    At the weekend our F5 load balanced CAS array name was moved to our 3rd datacentre and all users lost access to Outlook.  The databases were running on DAG2 listed below at the time.
    We have 3 DAG servers configured as the following:
    DAG SERVER ONE (DAG1) | Datacentre 1 | Primary AD Site | Multi role server MBX, CAS, HT
    DAG SERVER TWO (DAG2)  | Datacentre 2 | Primary AD Site | Multi role server MBX, CAS, HT
    DAG SERVER THREE (DAG3) | Datacentre 3 | Secondary AD Site | Multi role server MBX, CAS, HT
    We primarlily run from DAG1 or DAG2 - DAG3 is for real DR and loss of Datacentre 1 and 2.  The CAS array "Outlook" is configured for the primary AD site load balanced across DAG1 and DAG2.
    We use an F5 load balancer that balances the connections across DAG1 and DAG2, if both fail then DAG3 is used automatically.   We have tested and it works fine simulating loosing DAG1 and DAG2 and bringing up as a 1 node cluster on DAG3 with a
    FSW and the load balancer pointing at DAG3 for Outlook connections.
    For some reason this stopped Outlook users connecting - can anyone advise me why as I have been asked to test this again and I was expecting it to work?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, For Exchange 2010 before SP2 RU3,the Outlook clients with an existing Outlook profile would continue to use the old RPC endpoint rather than the new RPC endpoint (even though Autodiscover detected the change). Thus, except with Andy's suggestion,
    I recommend you can also repair or recreate the Outlook profile to have a test.
    For more information, you can refer to the following article:

  • Error when moving files between Sharepoint sites using 'content and structure' feature

    Hi,
    I am using Sharepoint Online 2013 on a mac computer.
    I am trying to move files between sharepoint sites/libraries but because the "open with explorer" link does not work on mac computers, I need to do so using the 'content and structure' feature.
    When I select a file to move and then select the destination site/doc library, i get the following error:
    An error was encountered performing this operation.
    Operation to Move '120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf' to '/Ops/internal/admin/General Admin' failed
    No items were moved. Please remove 120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf from the selection and retry operation
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Hi Kate,
    If you mean only one file "120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf" could not be moved, please compare this file to the other files moved successfully, check if there are some differences, like the content types, fields.
    Also compare the source library and destination library, make sure they have the the same type of fields.
    And you could have a try of moving this single file separately see if it could help, or as a workaround to download this file from source and upload to the destination library.
    Since it is related to SharePoint Online 2013, we cannot see the ULS log for more information, I would suggest you post this issue in Office365 SharePoint online dedicated forum via the following link for a better assistance.

    Hi, Thank you for your response.
    I am actually based in the UK (might be on the wrong forum?) - but I had a look at a custom built site here.
    The following are specs that I can afford. I could go a little higher too. Do you think these are suitable? If not what should I change?
    Thank you very much in advance. (The case is InWin Centinal Buc Black Gaming Case.)

  • Possible Failing Hard Drive...advice for moving forward

    I've been having lengthy delays caused by spinning beach ball of death and decided to get serious about my back-ups while I figured out what was wrong. In addition to Time Machine, have purchased a drive just to have a clone copy of hard drive and a bootable startup drive. While using Carbon Copy Cloner to do this, it reported bad sectors on my drive. Suggested deleting those files which I proceeded to do (deleting those took forever as it initiated the sbbod for each one). But the SBBOD keeps occuring.
    I need help and advice to think this through...(actual questions in bold)
    5 bad sectors aren't a lot but even 1 that causes the wretched SBBOD is too much. Is there a way to avoid that sector or is it just a precurser of future bad things to come? (let me say here that my drive is not a Seagate).
    Do those bad sectors corrupt my clone?
    I don't want to weigh this discussion down with too many questions...but these are my thoughts about moving forward
    If I decide that, indeed, my hard drive is failing I see the following options:
    Replace hard drive (have received local quote of $100 for labor + cost of drive approx $100) - this is certainly the cheapest, easiest and most logical solution.
    Take this opportunity to replace the laptop I gave to my daughter when hers was stolen. I would only do this if I could use the iMac's screen as a 2nd monitor. However, the early 2009 iMacs don't support being used as 2nd monitor. I would have to use ScreenRecycler & a VNC. How do those affect performance? If there is no adverse affect, I like this solution.
    Any and all advice appreciated. iMac specs in signature.

    Thanks for your reply Linc

    Rule out other hardware failures such as a damaged SATA cable or a bad logic board.
    Do you mean in addition to the hard drive, as that failure seems pretty evident at this point? I guess the cable would be a visual inspection. How would I know about the logic board?
    I'm pretty well convinced to replace the Hard Drive. Now the fun question is do I want to go with an SSD drive? I'm reading up now - obviously we're talking expensive for the size I would need. Not sure about these hybrid drives? Small amount of SSD combined with large amount of hard disk? Also reading about using the optical drive slot with something like OWC's Data Doubler. So many options. Any thoughts are welcome

  • Please, any advice on moving to Air?

    Hello everyone!
    I am a new Apple customer. I recently bought an iPad 2 and suddenly I discovered the Apple world.
    Now, I was thinking about the possibility of switching from my notebook Acer 15" (T4400 2.2 GHz, 3 GB RAM) to a Macbook Air 11" or 13".
    I would like to ask for a suggestion from this Forum.
    I usually spend 8 hours a day publishing articles on a Joomla site (cutting texts, copying, formatting, modifying...). While I am at home/office I use my desktop but while I am abroad I need to take with me only my notebook. I spent almost 6 months per year abroad, working on my notebook.
    I loved the form factor of that Macbook Air and the idea of having a SSD and an iOS, but my question is about usability in my work.
    Not to forget I wear glasses.
    I found my Acer 15" display (1366 x 768 pixels) good enough for me, and I was wondering if Air 11" or 13" are TOO small to work with or not.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I'm a writer and I write for many long hours every day on my 11" (and I wear contacts). Which is to say, the size of the 11" won't prevent you from doing all the work you want to do on its full-sized keyboard.
    However, I got an 11" because I like to write all over the place, meaning I sometime walk for long stretches with that laptop getting it to the library or coffeehouse I'm going to that day, or I might want to balance it on my knee while I rest on the couch. So, the lighter the better, and given that I might have lunch or books cluttering up the tiny table at the café where I'm writing, the less space my computer takes up, the better as well. This is not to say that the 13" is a heavy-weight or that big, it's just not as small and light as the 11". I love the fact that I'm carrying around a computer that isn't much bigger than a notebook.
    If, however, my tendency was to write at a desk and that is where the laptop would be most of the time, I'd probably have gone for the 13". And I suspect that you'd probably be happier with that size as well. However, as you are now part of the Apple World, we'll tell you the ultra-secret-secret to picking out an Apple computer (all other factors like cost and needs being equal): Go to a store, put the two side by side, play on both and go with the one you fall in love with
    If you love the computer, you'll be happy on it. As for the screen size, I think most people would agree that the 11" can certainly seem too small to some, but the 13" probably won't. These computers have a real crispness to their screens that makes things pop and should compensate the inches you'll be sacrificing. Also, the battery life on both is terrific. So check 'em out and see which one says it's yours. That's the one to get. 

  • Advice sought re converting existing Bc site to a responsive design

    Hi,
    I read today that Google is shaking up its search rankings to favour mobile-friendly sites.
    I have an existing e-commerce Bc site (fixed width) that I'd like to convert to a responsive design. At the moment I don't have the time to do it myself because I'm working on another business, while running the existing one, and wondered if anyone could offer any advice?
    What I'd like is not a whole redesign (I'm happy with the look and feel) but simply to convert it to make it responsive (and to include an elegant solution for making the tables on the site responsive too).
    I was thinking of using 99designs, or something similar, but maybe there's a better way?

  • Moving wordpress blog to iWeb

    I am building a site right now with iWeb 09. Is it possible to import old content from a basic wordpress template to my new iWeb page? If so, are there instructions online about how to do so? I am having a difficult time finding anything. Thanks in advance.

    iWeb can't import anything. A wordpress blog is a lot more flexible than an iWeb blog. I would keep it and either link to it from iWeb or put it in an iframe on an iweb page.

  • What magazines, blogs and sites to read from for database technology

    Hi All,
    I don't know if this is the right place to post this. Please feel free to move it to the right place. As you all know, being in the database profession (and in IT in general) we are required and expected to be aware of and have knowledge of the latest technologies relating to our profession. I wanted to know what are some magazines, blogs, sites, etc that you would all recommend for a database professional to frequent to keep up his/her knowledge?

  • DW CS4 Question about Moving Content to New Site

    Hi,
    I'm supposed to meet with a client later about creating a new website and moving all content from the old to the new.  Right now, I have no idea how many pages the old one has.  I'm assuming the worst, which means I'm assuming there will be a lot of pages.
    So after I create a new home page and then a new secondary page, is there some kind of automated procedure Dreamweaver CS4 has that will help me quickly get all of this old content into the new content?  I'm hoping there is because I really want to avoid having to go to each old page, copy the content, and then paste it one by one.  As I think about this, though, if suppose the old site has 100 pages, I guess I'll have to create 100 new secondary pages, then somehow get the content of each of these 100 pages into the new 100 pages.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I agree.  I'm thinking it will probably be easier to start from the ground up.  My biggest fear is it will be 5,000 or 10,000 pages.  And from what I understand (I'll get more specifics at the meeting) the job must be done by 10/27/10, which leaves precious little time.
    I'm meeting with the client this week so as of right now, they cannot show me the existing site until the meeting.

  • Seeking advice on moving up to HDV editing

    I appreciate folks on this forum who have assisted me in the past when I’ve had questions about iMovie, editing, burning DVDs etc. Karsten, Lennart, Bengt and others from around the world have been very kind and helpful. I am now seeking advice from anyone regarding “moving up” to the HDV world of video editing.
    I recently "retired" my 2003 iMac G4 800 MHz flat screen and replaced it with an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 duo with a 320 GB hardrive and 4 GB of upgraded RAM. I have a 250 GB external drive as well. I also replaced my old Sony TRV-30 digital camcorder (a great old workhorse which is still going strong after 8 years) with a Canon Vixia HV40 that has high definition recording capability (uses mini DV tape).
    I had been using iMovie HD 06 to edit my video projects along with iDVD and Toast 6 to burn them to DVD. I would like to start shooting HDV video with the new Canon, edit and burn the projects to Blu Ray high definition discs. MCE Technologies (among others, I believe) offer both internal and external Blu Ray burners. I don’t believe that the internal Blu Ray burner would work in my new iMac, but I may be wrong on that. (Does anyone know the answer?)
    I believe that the MCE external Blu Ray burner would work with my equipment if attached to one of the Firewire ports or possibly through one of the USB 2 ports. (there is both a 400 and 800 Firewire port on this iMac model.) I was planning to acquire Final Cut Express as the editing program with Toast 10 Pro (plus the Blu Ray plug in) to burn the edited projects.
    Will this work? Is there anything I should know before I plunge “headlong” into HDV editing? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

    I'm jealous.. wow! MY set-up..
    HDV is supported by IMHD6.. just to mention that. so, HDV-editing is same as SD..
    iMHD6 Export 'FullQuality' creates a file, which is HiDef too, for your Toast/BR workflow ..
    HDV creates on import (IMHD6/FCE) huuuuuge files, 40-60GBs/h .. 250 extHDD = 6h, full..
    actual price for extHDD with 1TB <100€ ..
    keep in mind: internal harddrive has to offer any time 10-20GBs free..
    not every BR-standalone-player accepts homebrewn disks..don't be disappointed...
    Toast and iDVD can burn DVDs (=which offer SD only) from HiDef projects.. no need to 'convert'.. both apps downsize automatically...
    FCE has a (very) steem learning curve.. totally different to iMovie.. no one-click-only, no templates, no ready-mades.. but zillions of options, 101% control.. (simple example: ken burns with zoom-to-zil and rotation and moving out of frame...)
    buy a book of FC Mastermind and AppleDiscussions-Level5 supporter *Tom Wolsky* - he's a sensei, in-depth-knowledge, hands-on (=no tech blabla), easy to read and understand.
    don't start with a project, start with 'tests for the trashbin'..

  • Managed Metadata values scrambled when copying or moving documents from one Site collection to another.

    Hi
    What works: Copy or move a document library containing one or more MM columns *within* a Site Collection = all column managed metadata replicated accurately.
    What doesn't work: Copy or move a document library containing one or more MM columns *from one Site Collection to another* within the same Webapp. The issue is that some but not all MM values are totally wrong. By totally wrong I mean that the incorrect
    terms are associated with a TermSet that is not even referenced in this DL!
    Same result for all method's tried:
    1) Save the DL as a template (no contents) and then copy or move the documents in
    2) Programmatically do the copy
    3) Export the list via CA and then reimporting it using Pshell
    This thread is very similar but his workaround has not helped in this instance:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6aca7b7c-97cb-4f1f-99f1-5e1fa0b1e3ed/content-type-hub-custom-library-template-managed-metadata-lostscrambled-when-moving-files?forum=sharepointdevelopment#65b52342-408f-47b4-a9f8-5d0b952acc12
    Has anyone else experienced this and found the cause/solution? Or can anyone do this without the issues that I have described?
    Thanks

    Hi Nuno,
    I've got to the root of the issue but in answer to your question first: The MM column is attached to a Global Content Type - there is nothing local.
    The fact that some are ok and others are not led me down the route of checking the columns at item level. Scripting this did not help - all rows returned are what I would expect. ie The same MMColName with the expected value (as appearing
    on the source DL).
    On checking SharePoint manager however I have found what looks to be causing the issue.
    When checking the properties (ie SiteCollection/Lists/<ListName>/items/<itemName>/Properties) of the 'good' documents against the 'bad' documents I find the following:
    Good Docs: The MMColName is displayed as expected at the item level
    Field: Name
    Field:  Internal Name
    Item Properties:
    Ok?
    Partnership Type
    Partnership_x0020_Type
    Partnership Type
    Y
    Bad Docs: The MMColName is NOT displayed as expected at the item level. Instead the internal name is displayed:
    Field: Name
    Field:  Internal Name
    Item Properties:
    Ok?
    Register Type
    Type_x0020_of_x0020_Licence
    Type_x0020_of_x0020_Licence
    N
    Meeting Type
    Meeting_x0020_Type
    Meeting Type & Meeting_x0020_Type (Both columns are listed)
    N
    I should add that each of these 3 examples are taken from 3 different DL's - hence the different Fields
    So this looks to be a case of corruption - and unless we can think of any other outcome we will have to look to rebuild the DL - while trying to maintain the metadata!

  • Moving pages using Manage Site content and structure is corrupting the version history

    Hi,
    I am using share point 2010 manage site content and structure feature to move pages from one sub site to other. After doing several edits and check ins of a page and if I try to move the page using manage site content and structure , the version history
    is corrupted in the destination site (i.e., all the versions are not showing).
    Note: Sometimes content is also getting replicated after performing move operation.
    Is it a Bug/ Known issue in SharePoint?
    Any info on this issue is very helpful to us.
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Advice on moving Albums from old Library to a new Library

    Hi,
    I have a huge old iTunes library which has music which has been copied in and also imported over the years using various quality of MP3 settings.  Much of this music I do not have the original CD’s, so I want to keep those particular old MP3 files even if they are not great quality.
    There are also many ‘single songs’ that iTunes thinks are albums, and also some tunes which iTunes cannot find the source files. 
    Safe to say that this huge iTunes library is in a mess, but there is some very good irreplaceable music in it.
    I also have approx. 2,000 CD’s which I wish to re-import using AIFF format.
    My plan is to create a new iTunes library, and to somehow move all the music for which I don’t have CD’s for, into this new iTunes library.
    And then after that, to manually import all the CD’s using AIFF format into the new library.
    And then to delete the old library, and continue then with a nice clean library.
    Can anybody recommend a good work flow to select a huge number of albums from the old library, and move them to the new one?
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    I would never have thought of using playlists.
    Is that practical adding more than a thousand albums to a playlist?
    And then to drag the playlist to "new media folder's Automatically Add to iTunes folder using your current library".
    Presumably copying many thousands of files at once?
    And ttg27... thanks for the pointers to the tt2's scripts.... sounds very useful.
    Could either of you comment on a new idea I have had.....
    Keep the old iTunes open and work down through the list of albums in iTunes one at a time.
    Any album that I want to move (as I don't have the corresponding CD), i move that folder using explorer to the new disk drive.  [by MOVING rather than copying, then those tunes in iTunes will appear as 'missing' so i know these have been moved already.
    Any single tracks (identified as an album with 1 track) that I don't want to keep, I just delete it within iTunes (or Explorer) as I work down through the list.
    So gradually the old iTunes library becomes smaller and smaller, as the content files are either moved or deleted.
    Would that work and would it be safer that moving files in batches using Playlists?
    By the way, is there some easy way that I can count the number of albums that I have in my iTunes library so that at least I will have an idea of how much work is ahead of me ? ;-)
    Thanks for your suggestions!,
    Really appreciated.
    Dave
