HOWTO migrate from blosxom to wordpress

For my piece of mind, please backup your wordpress database before proceeding. I don't want my instructions to cause you to lose data.

• Grab my mt blosxom flavor files and add to your $datadir. Right-click to save these files:
  content_type.mt date.mt, foot.mt , head.mt, story.mt


• Edit story.mt and change the line "AUTHOR: marc" to whatever
  username you will be using.


• If you are using the blosxom clicktrack plugin (00clicktrack),
  disable it.


• Visit your blosxom site using the mt flavor:
  http://yoursite.local/cgi-bin/blosxom?flav=mt and save it into a
  file named import in your wp-admin directory. You may want to try
  this: lynx -dump http://yoursite.local/cgi-bin/blosxom?flav=mt >
  wp-admin/import.txt


• Take a look at the import.txt file you just created. There are some
  things you may want to fix now rather than after the import.
  
  • Lines are wrapped at 79 characters, so long URLs or entry titles may be broken.
  
  
  • If you have a habit of using a bunch of dashes to separate text, the importer
    may get confused and think it is the beginning of a new entry. Consider replacing
    - with =
  
  
  • All the categories will be something like /nh (based on the pathname). You may want
    to remove the leading slash. You can fix this after import and well as build up
    a category hierarchy, so it isn't a big deal.
  
  
  
  



• Follow the standard WordPress instructions for import-mt.php.



• If you don't like your categories named with a leading slash (eg:
  /nh), then edit your new WordPress categories.



• Start going through your posts and clean up any messes...
