Transferring Daily Journal to WordPress
Today I finally got the WordPress installation for my daily work journal up and going the way I wanted it. I then started back-filling the entries from my old manual HTML journal to the WordPress blog. It's slow work, but in the end, I'll have the complete, searchable, history in WordPress for management to see.
It's not that the old system was bad, it's just that this system can be used by all the developers to make a consistent journalling system for all the daily work which makes the generation of management reports far simpler. No one has to guess or search their memories to remember what they were doing when. Just throw in a paragraph on every topic worked on in a day and you're good to go. Simple.
Simple for me, anyway. In a few weeks I'll have the complete history moved and I can take that old journal offline. It'll be nice.
