Blosxom export, WordPress Import.

What a hack. Well, most content is now inserted, with approximate dates still correct. There may be some dead links, but most of the information was takena cross. I’ll blog the nasty, nasty script I neded up using when its not gone midnight on a Sunday.

More workings on Blosxom export

Now I am working no the import and export functionality of WordPress. Export seems to dump an XML file, with all text as a big CDATA section (see the W3C for what a CDATA is about). It appears that P tags are removed in the XML dump, and carriage returns are used, so the XML export looks readable with preserved line breaks.

Oh well. Progress, perhaps.

2nd Post

Most problems seem to be ironed out now; getting my old Blosxom formatted entries will be interesting. The provided Xcript on the WP site doesn’t look like it will work with the markup I have in my previous posts, so I will have to update the script currently around to handle this…. anyway, off to the Countryside today.
