I thought I'd check on Agitprop here after all these months. What a surprise, it's right here! And in my app folder as we speak, THANX!

Coincidence, yes. I responded to someone on the ecto support forum who was asking if ecto could import direct from iBlog, wishing him luck in finding Agitprop. I decided to search myself and found the link. Gotta love Google!

Coincidence? Or not?

In the past week I've talked with some people about exporting, I swing around today and you just updated this entry yesterday with a comment with a new active link.

You're good!

For those still looking for Agitprop (Larry's link is to an empty file) it is for the moment available here.

Cheryl, I don't know the copyright status of Agitprop. I believe it is not a copyrighted program. I cannot locate a website to determine this but as I recall it was an "open source" application. If I'm incorrect perhaps someone can correct me as I don't want to violate anyone's copyright. If it is open source, or public domain, the application is in my public folder on dot Mac [here].

I was thrilled to find your step by step guide, one problem though, the link to Agitprop is dead. Can't find the app anywhere. Do you have any suggestions on where to find it or alternate solutions? Thanks, Cher

Larry, your best best is to replace your .Mac index page with a JavaScript redirect. They're easy to implement (e.g. see here) and 100% .Mac compatible (no need to change DNS settings or rely on PHP or .htaccess scripts). Of course, this only works so long as your .Mac account is active; if it expires there is no re-direct option I know of.

Bruce,
Thanks for this set of instructions. I've managed to migrate my files from iBlog to WordPress. But I haven't figured out how to redirect visitors from .mac to my new doman. Do you have information about how to do a redirect from .mac?
Thanks.
Larry
