When this is visible without editing your hosts file, then I’ve successfully switched DNS and clock is now running on WordPress 1.5.2 at TextDrive.

Success! (At least for the website… e-mail is still dodgy.)
Comments and TrackBacks are enabled on a go-forward basis, and more tweaking can commence.
Now comes all the small stuff.
- Old feed redirect (.htaccess file) DONE
- MeasureMap script implementation DONE
- Check out the image references in the few posts which had them, uploading images/fixing references as necessary.
- Redirects for all the old URLs (more .htaccess work… ugh).
E-mail looks to be the most troublesome, so far, of the DNS switch.
What worked well
- Radio Userland exporter script which I learned about here… much easier than my previous attempts/methods via the more generic archive files.
- WordPress import of a MT file (categories excepted, small price to pay)
- FeedBurner instructions for WordPress with the wonderful FeedBurner WordPress plug-in which works as advertised (easily).
- EasyDNS tools for switching all the DNS… with the pesky confusion of MX records, which I am considering avoiding altogether.

More updates to come.
