We are getting ready to migrate a second Ning site to JR. It's been quite a while since I did this (about 4 months) and I'm no more tech savvy than I was the last time I did this.... LOL... (although I did try to keep some notes from last time)

Can you remind me about what I need to do to get ready to do this and how to schedule the migration? We definitely want to use your import services so that you (Paul?) can help with the migration again this time.

Thanks!
Deb

Hi Deb
Just create the new domain on your Jamroom server then get the site ready to receive the import (layouts, logo images, template work etc.). Then purchase the import service and let me know so that we can schedult it.
Is this one of the domains already on your server? If so, and you're ready to go with I can do it at any time at the moment.
Cheers
Pa

It is one of the domains we already have on the server... I need to go in and make sure we have it set up the way we want it. We started doing that last fall and then just left it until now.

Should I have the menu set up to match the menu from the old Ning site before the import? Or should I do that afterwards, when we have the actual pages on the JR site?

I should mention that I'm also trying to juggle a few other things going on besides the migration of the site.... so this may start and stop a few times.... LOL

Up to you really ;-)
Might be easier after the import, when you have content to test any changes you make on.
Or you can create some dummy users and content before the import and make the changes then (we can 'reset' the site prior to import so that all dummy members and their content are removed leaving just the Master Admin).

OK. So I may be ready sooner than I thought... Let me think on this and get back to you...
