List of known, not-yet-resolved issues (9/22): image size in RSS, migrating old comments, broken links and images inside posts because of partial migration.
Sept. 22, 2025
About a week till Typepad shuts down. Ghost site goes live. Only some test posts have migrated using the AI-generated code obtained from my vibe-coding experiment (documented here). With the same code, I should be able to migrate all old posts in bulk once I get other issues sorted out. Am enjoying my experience working with Ghost so far.
For those readers who reached out, there is already an RSS feed. The sizing of the images in the feed is a known issue. If you see other problems, let me know in the comments.
The current routing scenarios: any link to Typepad is still served by Typepad; any link to www.junkcharts.com is served by Ghost. Any link to www.junkcharts.com that starts with /junk_charts/ or /numbersruleyourworld/ is re-directed from Ghost to Typepad (because most posts have not yet been moved).
If an old post has been migrated (e.g. https://junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts/2025/08/reflection-on-two-design-quirks.html), the corresponding post is found at https://www.junkcharts.com/reflection-on-two-design-quirks/. So the rule is take the name of the post (the part prior to .html after the date of the post), add it to the end of www.junkcharts.com.
