Converting from Blogger to Wordpress

This week I started the hard shift from my old Blogger blog to my new Wordpress blog on my new domain ISerialized.com. There are a couple of aspects of such a shift that makes this a hard decision to do:

  • Leaving the old familiar Blogger tool
  • Learning Wordpress
  • Trying to convert my old Feedburner readers to my new domain
  • Making the shift without too much traffic loss

Luckily most of my traffic are from referring sites, so I guess with a little work and a couple of emails, I could redirect much of the traffic over to ISerialized.com. Beyond the statistical facts, what are my lessons learned from these last couple of days?!

Extension methods enables you to hook up extra methods to an already existing (and possibly sealed) class, without the need of subclassing or changing the original class. Lets say I have a class from a third party vendor I use, which contains information on persons

A quick start guide to yield return and yield break

The yield statement was introduced in .Net 2.0, but I am a bit surprised that I meet many senior developers who has never used yield return (and yield break)! For some strange reason, yield has become some kind of hidden treasure in .Net. Through this post, I hope I can show some simple examples, and give some of the ideas, benefits and limitations with yield.
