I'm testing Expression Engine

I got (almost) all of my Blogger posts imported yesterday. Some of the very old ones wouldn’t export/import for some reason, but I’m not too worried about that. I’ll be republishing my old blog to a different address, just to be safe, but intend on fully using this Expression Engine for now.

Another unfortunate consequence of the process is the fact that I wasn’t able to export/import any comments. That’s another reason for keeping the Blogger posts around.

I also have to find a template that I like.

It's located here.

Comments:
That looks like a pretty powerful content management system - how hard was it to install?
 
It was actually very easy.

Download files from their server
Upload files to my server
Create MySQL database
Run install function on my server, telling it where the files it asked for were, the database name, my logins & passwords.

The hard part was "exporting" my Blogger posts in a format that EE can read. I essentially had to reformat them for MovableType, then import that format to EE.
