We’ve just moved the blog from a hosted service to the serendipity platform. While there are advantages on both sides of the coin (hosted blogs vs. run-your-own) it looks like serendipity has some features we were looking for:
individual RSS feeds for each category
various exporting options including RSS, XML and Atom
Search Engine Friendly URLs
ability to embed the blog in our own content wrapper (still working on this one)
The niftiest thing about serendipity however, was its “import” feature. I just entered the URL of the XML feed from the old blog, pressed the button and *presto*, it sucked in all the content. It makes upgrading or switching to this platform very accessible.
