Ok,

This Drupal setup is causing way too many problems.   When the podcast feed is updated, all the fixes/changes to existing feed items get erased.   These changes have been made 3 times already to make it so that people can download the MP3 files directly.

Also, the feed reader doesn’t update the way that it should and the Twitter module caused database problems.

We have made the decision to migrate all of the site and podcast content to WordPress over the next couple of days.

WordPress has an awesome Podcasting plugin that includes a player for each post.   It also has a plugin to add Google Analytics, which we use to check out site traffic and such.   They also have around 900 themes to pick from and seem to be a lot better developed in other areas.

We are hoping that there will be no visible interruption in the site during the migration.   Perhaps we will set up a sub-domain to have the WordPress site on for now and then, once everything is migrated, we will just backup the database, rip drupal and wordpress and then re-install WordPress into the main directory and import the data from the backup database.

This will take a few days but, really seems to be for the best…
