We are a small non-profit organization, and would like to migrate our site dbsanewjersey.org to WordPress, for which I’ve done a one-click install at test.dbsanewjersey.org. To that end we will pay to have someone identify a suitable theme and migrate our site for us. If interested, please contact me at info@dbsanewjersey.org. Thank you! Dave
Migrating our site to WordPress
Hi there,
I was able to find these articles that can help with moving your site to Wordpress:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content
http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#Importing_from_an_RSS_feed
There may be better way on how to move your site & I’m sure someone from the WordPress community will address it here.
For the mean time, this is what I got
Let me know if you have any questions

Since you’re on DreamHost, the ‘moving’ of your site isn’t that hard
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#When_Your_Domain_Name_or_URLs_Change may look scary, but really you’re doing just a couple things.
-
On test.dbsanewjersey.org, edit your site’s home and site URL to dbsanewjersey.org (this is under Settings -> General)
-
Copy all your files from test.dbsanewjersey.org to dbsanewjersey.org
-
Search/Replace your database posts to change test.dbsanewjersey.org into dbsanewjersey.org (there are a few ways, but I like the two I listed here - http://wiki.dreamhost.com/WordPress#DreamHosters - under step 4
Finding a suitable theme, of course, is a lot harder!
