We are seeking someone who can setup and migrate our current multi-user-blog-plattform to WordPress MU within the next 10 days.
The current portal (www.blog.ch) is a blog-portal where users can register and create their own free-of-charge-blog. Each blog is located on a separate subdomain (i.E. myblog.blog.ch). We have approx 7'000 blogs in this system with approx. 33'000 posts. The current blog-application uses a PostgreSQL 7.4.8. database, from which the blogs, posts and comments need to be migrated.
We are planning to move everything to wordpress mu. We intend to run on a standard Mu Version with essential addons (Antispam,...) and a handful of basic templates.
We would like to outsource as much as possible for this migration. Therefore we are looking for someone or a group of people who could handle this migration project for us in time and within budget.
Migration:
this data needs do be migrated
- users
- blogs
- posts
- comments
- images
(- surveys (if not to complicated))
the templates will not be migrated
Server:
We would like to install it on a separate virtual server where we can scale (RAM, Storage, Bandwith,...). We assume that slicehost.com would be an option for that. We also need someone who will manage this server (patching, etc.) in the future.
Installation of WordPress Mu with the essential functionality and plugins:
- Antispam functionality for registration (recaptcha.net if possible)
- Antispam functionality for commenting (recaptcha.net if possible)
- Google Adsense Integration (fixed AdSense code)
- users can only choose templates but not edit them.
- (approx. a list of 10 plugins such as "All in One SEO Pack")
- Subdomains per Blog and not Subfolders
Maintainance of WordPress Mu:
- keep the application updated, ad aditional Plugins if required
Templates:
We need 5 simple templates which should have our "Copyright" by meaning that it is our property.
The themes should each have one single adsense block and our google analytics code.
So if you can help on one or on some of these issues, please provide us with the following information:
- What can you do for us and what are the conditions (price, hourly rate, how long it will take).?
- What is your experience and why should we work with you?
- When can you start with the project?
- Can you guarantee delivery by September 25?
