Yeah, I converted, and it was crazy easy with the importers they have now. Beating this beast into a form more pleasing to myself, though, is going to take a bit longer.

Already I don’t like that all of the posts I imported without a specific title defaulted to their unix timestamps. I found a couple of places where I was able to hack it into displaying something else instead of the ugly 18-digit number, but I’ve yet to find the silver bullet that will fix this problem everywhere titles show up in wordpress (which is a lot of places). If anybody could point me at the specific function in wp, it’d be appreciated.

One success story so far is that I got category lists to use proper grammar. This is why below you will see this post is tagged “wordpress, hacks and php” instead of “wordpress hacks php”. The relevant function is get_the_category_list, ask me how if you’re interested. And yes, I really am this anal about small details like that.

Further updates as events warrent.
