John Washington import from PixelPost

John Washington Self Portrait

Some of you may have noticed the presence of longtime photoblogger, John Washington on PixyBlog over the last few weeks. He appeared in the top-spot our Hall-of-Fame Photos and also made an impact on our Hot Photoblogs rankings. So it wouldn't have taken a genius to guess that he might well be in the process of migrating to PixyBlog. He is. He has.

So another big PixyBlog welcome to John Washington. Along with all the other migrations we've been working on lately, John is not only the latest but the largest. With over 600 photos going back to 2005, he has a huge portfolio of work, an established website and an army of readers/subscribers.

John has essentially been involved with PixyBlog since the beginning, and although he continued to blog on his PixelPost site for the past two years, it was always our intention that John be the first PixelPost import. That didn't quite happen, but it's great to finally have John as part of the community.

We migrated John's highly customized PixelPost site, which was a Frankenstein creation of two PixelPost instances running side-by-side. One instance powered his photoblog, while another was used to separate his projects from his photoblog. Over the years he had continually developed his own customized theme which also needed to be migrated.

It took us a few weeks, but finally at the weekend we managed to swap John's site over to use PixyBlog. We changed his domain name yesterday and now his site is live and currently number one in the days Hot Photoblogs.

Thanks Richard

I simply couldn't have managed this move without your help and long term support. I have no hesitation in recommending your product, and your service has been second to none. I have a good working knowledge of low level web design, but the back end stuff - well let's just not talk about that.

Anyone who has followed my work will have noticed a slow down in postings. That's simply because I've took on a new job as a Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design at the University of Bolton, I've completed a Masters Degree in Digital Image and Media and had a very long and painful period resulting in the loss of my father.

I will however be back posting work on a more regular basis soon, and will continue to post ephemeral images alongside what I consider to more seriously considered outputs.
