Compass Designs

Over at Copyblogger, Sonia Simone made a recent post about Getting Naked. No, it wasn't a college party, but rather the concept of being honest, sometimes painfully so in your blog. Current wisdom among bloggers is that this is a good standard to follow, you'll see popular bloggers ranging from Dooce, SEOMoz and even Joomla's Alledia sharing things that traditionally would be thought of as perhaps private. In each case, the sharing has been well received, and all importantly, worthy of traffic.

OK, so in my last post, Live Day 1 SEF URL problems I explained my master plan to do some htaccess redirection for all my old links.

Now, despite my current issue getting data on 404's, I can still make some headway because I *do* know some of the URL's that need redirecting. 

So the process of trying to migrate compassdesigns.net started over a month ago with day 1:
Day 1 Uploading and Extracting Joomla 1.5 to ...

Now on Day 36, it looks like we are ready to make a live cut over to the new 1.5 version of the site. OK, so that seems like an awful long time to  get migrated, what have we been doing during that time?

As mentioned in my last post, I have now managed to get a couple of blogging extensions installed and have been pruning my menus. I had planned to re-build these after migration to 1.5 to better fit my new Joomla Blog concept.

On examining one of the submenus I had not intended to change, I noticed something strange.
