I can’t seem to get the database out of godaddy, so I’m going to sum up everything I wrote about last year, in reverse order, in a few posts (which is kinda sad I guess):
- Before I was listed on Google there were 109,000,000 posts in front of me
- (I still need a logo)
- Seth Godin said I wouldn’t last (btw… I outlasted his Dip Blog)
- I was inspired by people who use domain finders to name their children
- I explained how to use Google Analytics, Technorati
- Peter Morville author of Ambient FIndability links to me (and said Seth is silly)
- I get a first victory by making it to the front page if you type “john wilson blog”
- Blogger Mike Sansone has 530,000 hits, John Wilson goes to 123,000,000
- “John Wilson” goes to page 6 on Google
- 9rules snubs me
- “John Wilson” moves to page 2 on Google
- Richard Florida and the Creative Class and the importance of SEO
- John Wilson Fishing – Phone attacks trying to steal my cc number
- I stumble on Jim Killeen
- I get listed on Freakonomics
- I blabber about Celebrity Apprentice
- Deal or No Deal Strategy (which gets tons of random hits)
- I start MBAforRent
- I get promoted at work
All of this, and I’m tearing down the site to start here fresh. I was only averaging about 10 hits a day. Hopefully this new design will help me get things more focused.

We’re up and running. From blogger to WordPress. Now I need to figure out how to move the old stories over. The import tool on WordPress seems easy enough. But I can’t figure out how to get the content out of the mysql database at GoDaddy. Argh.
