Done!

October 6, 2007 by Michael Boyle

I’ve pretty much completed the transfer to WordPress from Movable Type now, and it went very smoothly. WP is very nice to work with, and I chose a very well constructed base theme (if I do say so myself) to work from, which helped. The only dicey parts were a) matching the file naming format of the posts I imported with their old format generated by MT; and b) removing some links from my (old) post titles, which was causing problems.

There’s one major to-do yet: figuring out how to save myself from my idiotic post-title method (i.e., the title is actually the first few words of the post). I think I have the solution (using some advanced CSS and a quick template edit), so we’ll see.

As always, if you notice anything strange let me know. It should be a million times easier to leave comments here than it has been in the past while.
