Porschekalender.nl

Last year in August I was a bit bored during my holiday and this ‘boredome’ resulted in a new project : What if I created a website in which (almost) all of the events that are organised around Porsche cars in The Netherlands can be found in 1 place. And so Porschekalender.nl was born.

I do not have the intention to make money with this project; just have the best Calendar for Porsche related events ‘at your fingertips’.

The result is showing. Puur Porsche Magazine is using Porschekalender.nl as their standard agenda. Also GP Eilte, the company that organises and delivers all of the Porsche trackdays and trainings in The Netherlands lists all of their events also on the site.

Last but not least, creating this site was my first WordPress project. Sure I use a standard template but it did teach me a lot of things in translating the template in Dutch, working with widgets, etc, etc .

Peterdehaas.net is moved from Typepad to WordPress

I started blogging in 2004, little over 14 years ago today. When I first started off I used blogger and in 2005 I decided to move to Typepad. Now after 13 years I moved my blog to WordPress.

Although WordPress may essentially not be much better, there are a lot more tools available to create post, manage your blog, etc.

Migrating content was quite easy; a simple export from Typepad and import into WordPress. To ensure my “rich” history in search engines did not break I had to change the way Worpress handles the permalinks.

So besides a different theme you should not notice too much about the move, besides me blogging again Smile . I do hope I can stick to blogging again.
