Unfortunately not. The way Drupal was set up was to use the tag as part of the URL, and if an entry didn’t include a tag, it just showed the post title. This makes dealing with such things a pain in the neck. Instead, we are categorizing all the posts, and will be working hard on making sure Google re-indexes them under the URL. We will then be working on a smarter 404 page for content URL’s that are broken. It is definitely a long process best done in steps.

As I am sure many people are aware of… the logistics of this whole transition was so large that it kept getting stuck in its own to-do list. So instead of continuing that trend, I dove in. There will be problems. There will be sacrifices, but I am already feeling like content management is 1000x easier, and if the other writers on the site agree, then we can focus on what really matters: great article writing and publishing.

The new design is really nice. Good to see performancing move to wordpress – have the user accounts been migrated too?

Seems like it’s far from finished at moment though – most of the menu links aren’t working.

Congratulations! I made the switch a while back. Technically, it is a much smaller headache than Drupal. Since wordpress is blogging standard, it is also easier to find themes, plugins, compatible applications and the like than drupal, joomla or anything else.
