BerkeleyLUG site/WordPress migrated!

["Michael Paoli" <Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu>]

The BerkeleyLUG site:
https://berkeleylug.com/
has been migrated from WordPress.com hosting, to
being hosted on the BALUG host (virtual machine).
Things should mostly be as they were - differences should mostly be
cosmetic (and speed/availability - not a high availability host nor
hosting, nor high bandwidth).

The old site content may temporarily be accessible at:
https://berkeleylug.wordpress.com/
but looks like that's presently still redirecting - so
can't (yet) see there to compare, etc.

If you have an account on the site, you should be able to use
the "lost password" functionality:
https://berkeleylug.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
to get an emailed link to reset your password (passwords were not
migrated).

Shorter term we'll probably leave it relatively locked down,
most notably only those with accounts can comment or post or more.
We'll probably start loosening that up more (within reason)
after things are a bit more settled in and tested out (and we
activate some anti-spam bits).

And, ... what did the migration process look like?
There's a pretty good outline of it here:

> Some of the more notably various remaining issues:
> The import causes everything to be attributed to (authored by) one user,
> ... well, at least pages, looks like comments may have their proper
> original attributions.  Theoretically on import, one should be able
> to (re)map users from import to users on site being imported too,
> but I don't seem to have gotten that to work or work fully.
> Comments aren't displaying who posted the comment.
> Missing the tux logo being displayed on page headers.
> I need to properly configure email sends (it semi-works
> at present, but may very legitimately get rejected by mail
> servers that are persnickety about spam and proper sending best
