from Tao of security blog, I came across this

One of the details that emerged from Curt's monitoring of the Invita Security network involved a password used by Alexey Ivanov. When accessing one of his drop sites, Alexey's FTP password was www.pidor.com (Internet Archive available). Think of what an unwary analyst might do with that information. Only someone who is monitoring Alexey's actions might know about www.pidor.com. Say that unwary analyst decides to visit www.pidor.com to learn more about the site. If Alexey or a friend is monitoring Web accesses to www.pidor.com, they could learn that they are being monitored. This case demonstrates how important it is for analysts to not "touch" remote or foreign sites involved in intrusions. You may tip your hand to the attacker and ruin an investigation or recovery effort.

I have moved my blogging software from Wordpress to Serendipity. It was able to import the entries from Wordpress without any problem. I needed to create 3 additional files to make the transition complete i.e. wp-atom.php, wp-rss.php, wp-rss2.php . These were needed so that people who were using the rss feeds from the Wordpress did not have to change their feeds again.

These files do nothing more than redirecting the users to the new feed url. For example, the content of the file wp-rss2.php is just

<?php
// For redirecting users who are lost 
header("Location: http://rajshekhar.net/blog/feeds/index.rss2");
?>

Beyond this customization, I did not have to do any more labor to migrate to Serendipity
