I imported to WordPress from Blogger, worked fine. Haven't tried LiveJournal.
I'd do separate blogs, but that's me.

2) WordPress gurus, I'm recreating my website with the WordPress content manager and wondering if I can separate my writing blog and my SQL blog and have links that point to both. How easy or hard do you think that would be?2. I have multiple blogs across different platforms. LiveWriter works well for cross publishing stuff. In terms of links, what do you mean by "point to both"?
Not quite the way it sounded. I'm thinking sidebar, where I have the SQL stuff grouped under one heading and the writing stuff grouped under another.
I'm still debating on what to have as the front page, because I don't want to turn off the people looking for my author page by having them find the SQL page first. And I don't want to turn off the SQL peeps by having the author page first. But I want my blog on the front page... Which means I'll have to choose one or the other.
Unless I do it by "most recent posts," in which case, I need something on top of the blog that says "to see just the author blog, click here. to see just the dba blog, click there." But that just sounds ... screwy.
I would think you'd have a main page with a link to author and a link to sql server. Like an introduction page with two links on it. I don't think that'd turn off eitiher readers or SQL people and you might end up with more readers who went there to see the SQL.

Is anyone here going to SQLBits X in London?
Looking forward to some of the BI sessions as I haven't spent enough time delving into 2012 yet.
Are there any sessions/speakers you wouldn't miss?

I had hoped to, but I will be at SQL Server Connections in Las Vegas that week

I was hoping to, but the time frame doesn't suit. Maybe SQL Bits 11, whenever that will be.
Still waiting to hear if I'll be going to TechEd Europe or not (June, Amsterdam)

I did consider trying for approval to go there instead as it's not massively more expensive for my company as I work for an airline that flies there. It's just justifying a trip to Vegas from the UK as being for business purposes is a tougher sell and I'd be away from work for the whole week.
I'm hoping the quality/number of speakers isn't going to be degraded by both of these overlapping.

FYI, and something to beware of:
I just found something related to our infamous quote bug. If you click the PM button for a post and there are more recent posts than what is being shown, you'll get the PM addressed to someone different than you expect.
(I was puzzled by why a PM I sent appeared in my inbox - my post just happened to be the one prior to the one I clicked the PM button on.)
Hey Steve.. this thing appears to be doing some relative position from the bottom of the page thing. Why not redo them to be based off of the post #?

Thanks. Low priority bug, and we haven't touched the code much so that we can upgrade potentially. Or rewrite the forums.
We are arguing about what makes sense.

I can only make the Saturday - it's the first conference of any kind that I've attended so I'm not even able to convince myself that it'll be worthwhile let alone convince my boss. Sure that I'll hear about lots of things I'm not aware of, just not sure how much I'll actually manage to learn

I'm not convinced these things are a massive opportunity to learn new skills in details, but I don't have the time at work these days to download and test new versions/features extensively. It's a good opportunity to take a couple of days away from the pressures of the office to focus on it. Especially as I work in BI now, I find it helps to seperate the wheat from the chaff in the ever-growing, fragmented MS BI stack.

Fragmented? There are barely 3 report building applications. (4 if you count Excel)

Is anyone else having trouble getting to topics they've responded to in the past couple of days?
I just tried to check a couple of topics via the notification link and was informed that the topics were deleted or I didn't have permissions for them. And these are valid topics, not spam.
One thing both topics have in common is that the replies I got came from user ybz199009 (which turns out to be a spam member according to a search). Did the topics get nuked when the user was nuked?

I did just find one like that, yes. It was on establishing a monitoring baseline.

The notification posts give links to specific posts, not to the thread, so if the post is deleted (and the thread still exists), the notification link will give an error. Thread's still there and next reply will give you another link that should be valid.
That spam user managed about 100 posts overnight, all spam (well, all that I bothered checking)

Going back on topic for just a moment, Gail, did you enjoy the exchange with the guy that wanted to delete his log over on SO? People can be such asses in a remote, anonymous forum.
