Converted from blogger, just for the hell of it.
I had access to wordpress 1.5 and to MySQL on my hosting site.
Converted from blogger using the wordpress wiki instructions.
Some minor hassles:
1. For various reasons I changed the directory used in the wordpress address and blog address under …/wp-admin/options-general.php I had to move the wordpress installation from the old directory to the new directory before I could use admin functions again.
2. Using the PHP script from the instructions, I managed to duplicate some posts, and
3. because the script works on your blogger archives, the posts that hadn’t archived in blogger had to be reposted.
3 can be fixed by chaging the archive settings in your blogger account before exporting / publishing to your wordpress directory.
All easily fixed.
EDIT –
1 I need to fix those link colours on this theme plus
2 I need to tidy up some of the individual posts (caused by my “categories in blogger” hack), plus
3 get rid of the blogger index.html in this directory
RE-EDIT: changed themes – still needs some work…
