Moving The Errol Flynn Blog to Wordpress!
by
David DeWitt
on Fri 27 Jan 2012 07:20 PM PST
When we move The Errol Flynn Blog to WordPress which will be soon... there are some things to consider, according to Domainmonger Support. Please read this over carefully! There will be some difficulties to overcome and we will overcome them... There is both good news and bad in the support reply I received.
The worst bad news is that it is difficult to move comments over to our new home at WordPress! Since this is an essential part of our blog's lifeblood, we are going to move them, irregardless. Please read through this reply to see what difficulties lay ahead and we will figure out how to overcome them before we put an oar in the water or a unfurl a sail... This is what I received from support: What content can be migrated from Blogware to WordPress? All Articles and posts from your Blogware blog can be migrated to your WordPress blog. Photos in Photo Albums are migrated. Photo Albums become Categories of your WordPress blog . Comments can also be migrated. However, a bug in the Blogware export file causes the author information for a comment to not be retained. So all the comments when imported into WordPress are attributed to “Anonymous”. The problem is with the Blogware export file unfortunately so this issue would happen whether you move your Blogware site to WordPress or any other hosting service. Therefore, you can request, and in fact we suggest, that we do not migrate comments from your Blogware blog to your new WordPress-based blog. URL Redirection – You are currently hosting on your own domain name, so, we will be able to redirect your original Blogware URLs to your new WordPress URLs so not only will all your old links continue to work, but you will main your current Google ranking. All files uploaded to your blog’s File Manager will be migrated. So if you have uploaded images to accompany your blog articles for example, we’ll move those images to your new WordPress account. What will not be migrated? The layout or Color Scheme for your blog will not be preserved. The WordPress Theme format is completely different from the Blogware Color Scheme format, so you will have to choose a new look for your blog. The good news is that in WordPress there are thousands of free themes available at the WordPress Themes Directory, or you can create your own custom theme. Sidebar components are not migrated. If you have created any custom components for your blog sidebar, you would need to recreate them on your new WordPress blog using WordPress’ Widgets feature. Neither custom components nor Favorites components are migrated. Attachments are not migrated unfortunately as they are not exposed by the Blogware migration tools. If you have added attachments to your articles, they will not be migrated to your new account. Trackbacks are not migrated. Blog Settings are not migrated. Since the Blogware system and WordPress system are so different, it is not possible to take any of the settings for your Blogware blog and simply migrate them to your new WordPress blog. Please check out this excellent guide to WordPress Administration Settings for information on configuring the Settings of your new WordPress blog. Web Pages are not migrated. If you have any Web Pages, a special type of post which is not dated, you will need to re-create them using the analogous Pages feature in WordPress. Permissions are not migrated. Category settings and permissions work very differently in WordPress, and we are unable to apply any of the permissions in your Blogware blog to your WordPress-based PressHarbor account. User accounts are not migrated. So if you have users with permissions to your current Blog, those user accounts will not exist on the new WordPress site. You will need to reconfigure your site using the WordPress Roles and Capabilities framework. - Domainmonger Support This means that all current members will have to rejoin The Errol Flynn Blog, once it has been moved. You will be able to find the blog using the same URL as it has now: http://theerrolflynnblog.com when it has been moved and is ready for shipmates, again! At this point, I am as new to all of this as you reading this. I hope there will some expert advice over at WordPress about how to reassign comments to their original owners! And about how to keep our attachments which are so vital to some of our posts! I will be writing to WordPress for some advice regarding all of this! Nothing is happening immediately, but it will happen soon from the sound of things... Saturday, January 21

A very rare copy of Errol Flynn's novel "Showdown" exists which was signed by Errol Flynn to his parents in May of 1946. The book was a gift to Marguerite Gauron of Port Antonio, Jamaica, by Flynn's widow, Patrice Wymore and is now about to be sold privately.

Inquiries may be sent to: InSearchofErrolFlynn@gmail.com I will provide Dennis phone number to anybody who is interested in more details! Email me at: zacapublishing@gmail.com  Tuesday, January 17

Sean Rio Flynn in his first movie as an adult!
by
Tina Nyary
on Sat 14 Jan 2012 10:17 AM PST
I found this news and I thought I post it for all to know!
Sean Flynn - CASTS A NEW GENERATION OF Coal Train Productions and Generic Filmgroup announced today that former
Teen Idol SEAN FLYNN, fresh from his long-running role as Chase on
Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101," will be co-starring in his first adult role
in "Return of the Killer Shrews." Flynn's role as Derek will utilize
his comedic skills first honed on the popular Teen TV series and provide added
thrills to his large TV fan base. "Return of the Killer Shrews," set
on a mysterious island in the gulf of Mexico, places Flynn in a modern-day
horror setting, but with a touch of blood-drenched comic mayhem ala "Shawn
of the Dead" and the slightest flavor of retro Tiki exotica ala the great
Drive-in horror flicks of the 1950s and 1960s. And Flynn even gets a chance to
use his considerable charm, like his famous Grandfather, ERROL FLYNN. "Return of the Killer Shrews" goes before the cameras in May, with release scheduled for next year. --- This should be 2012 unless somebody has better information than me? This is the link to the website I found and Sean is speaking in a video contained on this website. Interesting information I thought I share. I wish him all the luck in world to make it big like his grandfather! http://Friday, January 13

TCM is honoring Jack Cardiff this month!
by
Tina Nyary
on Thu 05 Jan 2012 09:41 PM PST
I just saw a fabulous one and an
half
hour documentary of Jack
Cardiff as an
introductory of him being
honored as the star
celebrity of the month.
He
also spoke of Errol, but no mentioning
of the ill-fated
movie of
William
Tell. He was the cinematographer
for 'The Master of
Ballantrae
1953' and 'Crossed Swords 1954', it
must have been during
this
time
that
they became friends as
later
Errol chose him to be his
director
for 'William
Tell', with which
Errol would have given
him
his
first
chance
to direct a movie and
with his
most fabulous cinematography
expertise it
would have been a fantastic
movie. Apparently
and as stated in
the documentary Jack
Cardiff
was
very interested to
direct
movies and as it
looks like Errol maybe saw
the talent in
his
capacity and
wanted
for Jack a start
of
a 'dream
come true'. What a great
pity that it
didn't
fly! Jack, although
went
into directing
from 1960 to 1974 and directed
eight
movies and
was
behind
the camera from
1936 to 2000. He speaks of Errol collapsing
on the set
during
the filming
of 'Crossed Swords' at which
time
the doctors told
him
his
liver is
gone and
he is on his
way
out or so to say. Not Errol -
he came back
with a tumbler
full of Vodka in
his
hand.
We all have read that Errol was hospitalized in Naples for that liver problem, but not during what movie, now we know - it was 'Crossed Swords'. Taken from the Jack Cardiff website - Errol resting during 'Crossed Swords'  Jack' s movie credits as a cinematographer are incredible! He worked with Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Deborah Kerr, Sophia Loren, Ingrid Bergman, David Niven, Humphrey Bogart, Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston, James Mason just to name a few and of course with our Errol! Jack Cardiff was quite a man and to be admired for his great contribution to the movie industry (if you are interested read all about him jackcardiff.com and therefore it is not surprising that Hollywood gave him an honorary Oscar for his accomplishments. As we all know they are quite stingy with them. Apparently and please correct me if I am wrong, I am not up to par with Oscars, cinematography is not one of the Oscar awarding category or was not in his time. Whatever the case he received one, although late in his life, for serving the movie industry a lifetime most outstandingly! Errol, would he have lived to see it would have been very pleased about it!
Errol Flynn's Lost Rexordings - Karl Holmberg
by
David DeWitt
on Thu 05 Jan 2012 05:20 PM PST
Our great friend Karl Holmberg shares his research into Errol Flynn's Lost Radio Recording in the attached Word document! Great work, Karl!
Ahoy David- I
read with keen interest the various exchanges on Flynn radio
appearances at the blog. 2 "lost" related programs came up in your
discussion to which I can highlight with some additional information and
then conclusions (since you never know what is gonna turn up to either further support or refute) of a few years back . I also attach some additional info on the "other losts" if you are so inclined to share them because remember... A whole INTENDED (8-21 programs) series of “THE MODERN ADVENTURES OF CASANOVA” - circa 5/22/52 (based on information contained in a letter, with MGM letterhead, for sale on internet). Only one episode was made or has survived entitled “THE MISSING ARM OF VENUS DE MILO”. Also referred to as “JAMACIA” under University of Memphis radio archives. Flynn apparently headed for Europe sometime after recording of this program in NYC (in addition to 3 Toast of the Town appearances) where Crossed Swords, illness, and William Tell were to ultimately face him. And, given the events of the aforementioned, I do not believe that Flynn had the "inclination" to come back and complete the terms of his Casanova contract (dated 11/15/51) and record any additional programs. “Bill Stern Sports Newsreel” NOTE: Announced for next 4 weeks beginning on 7/02/48, #453, John Garfield subs, then F.Sinatra, W.Powell, and Errol Flynn. (Following
the order- Garfield: 7/2, Sinatra: 7/9, Powell: 7/16, and Errol Flynn:
7/23. BUT- extant recordings say for show # 456, 7/23/48, Jimmy Stewart
subs, and NO OTHER LISTINGS FOR FLYNN- not even as guest. Therefore, Flynn never substituted. Best, Karl  2 AttachmentsWednesday, January 4
