Part 2: How I moved the rest of my 41,000 notes from CherryTree to a self-hosted Joplin Server in five batches, caught a silent import bug that dropped 88 pictures, froze the originals, and decided which private notes to keep out.
Part 1: CherryTree has no tablet app, so I moved 46,000 notes to Joplin with my own sync server at home. Here’s how I planned it, converted everything, proved nothing was lost, and got my tablets syncing, plus the pitfalls that cost me the most time.

Hackers exploit these vulnerabilities not just for immediate financial gain, but to build comprehensive profiles for identity theft, social engineering attacks, and long-term fraud schemes. The threat landscape has evolved significantly over the past decade. What once required sophisticated technical knowledge can now be accomplished with
If you just launched a WordPress site — or inherited one that’s never been properly configured for search — this guide walks through every step needed to get Google to find it, understand it, and rank it fairly. It’s written as a checklist you can work through top to bottom, but each item includes the *why*, the *how*, and the mistakes that trip people up.
This is the general-purpose version of the playbook. It assumes a WordPress site with Yoast SEO installed, but the underlying principles (canonical URLs, verified ownership, a clean sitemap, and healthy Core Web Vitals) apply to any CMS on any host.
