# WarrenWeb Migration
My website started as a personal blog on Wordpress, and has now evolved into a website and blog on the Ghost platform. This provides some background and summarizes the transition.
## Personal blog (Doug Warren)
Initially, I started a personal blog in September 2014, and I became involved with Wordpress and the blogger community. Mostly my focus was "sharing life experience and interests" so I simply called it *Doug Warren*, and just used https://dpw67.wordpress.com as its URL address without a specific domain. Wow, I can't believe that it's been active now for over 10 years!
## Wordpress (WarrenWeb)
As my experiences and interests greatly expanded over time, it seemed appropriate to transform it from a blog with some pages into a website (with a blog).
Therefore, with reorganization and enhancements, I changed the name to WarrenWeb since it became much more than just a personal blog, and I obtained a unique domain name (https://warrenweb.net).
At first, the most obvious changes were the menu, structure, and organization; the sidebar initially evolved as changes were implemented, but seemed redundant on the new website.
I created a new Home for website pages, updated major sections for PKM, Technology, and Interests, along with my blog posts. My efforts include areas for Music, Photos, Travel, Writing, Health, and Genealogy.
## Ghost (WarrenWeb)
Over the past several years, I became very busy working on my personal knowledge management (PKM) system using Obsidian, as well as development efforts with Swift technologies on Apple platforms.
I have learned so much and discovered more. That has generated many new ideas, which I have organized and would like to share more broadly to benefit others.
So now I'm migrating my website (and blog) from Wordpress to the Ghost publishing platform as I develop it further.
To ensure a smooth transition, the Ghost website is now a subdomain with the blog prefix as https://blog.warrenweb.net in my current Wordpress site domain with links back to existing content.
