Looking Out From the Garage: Can I call a moving company for content?

Can I call a moving company for content?

I have taken a step.  In a few weeks, I'll be making a big change in my real estate career.  I'm not ready to announce it yet, but one of the parts is an all new website.  Because of the HUGE amount of content I have created do to blogging... and blogging here, I have a LOT of content to put into a site.  So, I decided to jump into the world of CMS.  I finally was able to set up a test with Joomla, and I think I am really going to like this. 

While I know that I probably should hire someone to handle my website, I'm not going to... :P

I will be hiring a designer to build a custom template, and possibly also to design a new logo and some other portions for the new business plan, I will remain the one responsible for content and implementation.  Because I know that I will be updating and adding content frequently (if I migrate my blog to this platform, it will be updated almost daily), I know that I have to learn how to handle some of these responsibilities.  

In the mean time, I just realized that I will be migrating a SERIOUS load of content.  I have 125 blog posts here.  Many of those posts are suitable as articles and content on my new site.  That is a LOT of stuff to get set up and categorized on the new site.   

Don't worry, updates and progress reports will appear here first.

Congrats on moving to the "next level" in your business, Lane. I can't wait to see what you're working on.

Lane - wow - a big move.  Don't forget to wrap the fragile stuff in lots of paper and bubble wrap.  I'm sure it will all arrive safely to your new web site.  I can't wait for the house warming!

Mike... way to ratchet up the pressure. 

Nancy... the house warming for the new site will be a month or two away, but in the mean time I am considering releasing the address to allow people to see the progression as I build the site.  

Ilyce and Faina... It will be posting my experiences as I build the new site.  My current site(s) will be up and running, but will morph to a different purpose as the new site prepares to come online.  I'm really excited about this... like you can't tell... and am anxious to see the changes myself.

Lane ... scrutinize CMS applications thoroughly.  They commonly make excessive use of url parameters that choke spiders.  Good luck with the move!

Larry... Thank you.  One of the priorities is to implement SEF links (Search Engine Friendly) as part of the overall SEO process.
