More and more of OpinionJournal goes behind the paywall. Personally I think it’s the right move, because what’s there to lose? If we won’t pay, the business was over anyway. And my bet is we will.

security industry analyst, Rich Mogull also writes on security-related issues for TidBITS. When TidBITS’s sister-site Take Control Ebooks was recently migrated to ExpressionEngine, it was Engaging.net who did the job. So when Rich decided to move the web site of his independent analyst firm Securosis from WordPress to EE, he contacted Engaging.

The new Securosis.com homepage — fun!
To implement the migration, we imported scores of tags, hundreds of posts and members, and thousands of comments. For the posts, we used the new Solspace Importer module, which made that part at least easier and even fun. For tags, we first converted WordPress tags into EE categories, then in turn converted these into EE tags. And we set up a method to 301-redirect all old WordPress URLs to their new EE equivalents. Engaging.net also advised on the EE architecture — fields, channels, categories, URL structuring, etc. — and installed the standard clutch of controlpanel add-ons.
The new site was designed by Insight Designs of Boulder, CO. Rich did much of the EE templating himself.
In the period since the site was launched back in April, we’ve developed some additional functionality, including a consolidated comments management screen.
