The main challenge I was facing initially was that I had to figure out how to export the old blog and import it into the new one without having to move to a different URL. I made a new installation of WordPress alongside the old one and tried renaming the installation folder, which didn&#8217;t work out so well, as I had expected.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><br \/>\nIn the end I basically just took all the uploaded files from the old blog, exported all posts and comments, uninstalled it, installed a new blog in the same location, put the uploaded files into its directories and imported all posts and comments. Although it was displaying some errors during importing, everything seems to be working fine.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Okay, so <strong>what&#8217;s new<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Probably most obvious is the <strong>layout<\/strong> &#8211; hope you like it!<\/li>\n<li>I am working with <strong>WordPress 2.5<\/strong> now, which is a delight and will make my blog a lot more dynamic!<\/li>\n<li>When you comment on a post,\u00a0 you can now enable <strong>email notification<\/strong> so that you can keep your ear to the grapevine!<\/li>\n<li>On the page of each post, you will now be able to see a list of <strong>related posts<\/strong>!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clickable tags<\/strong> will start showing up in posts.<\/li>\n<li>A neat <strong>list of categories<\/strong> at the top of the page!<\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a> menu at the left, so you can stay up to date with <strong>what I&#8217;m doing<\/strong>!<\/li>\n<li>Only 5 posts displayed on the main page, instead of 10.
