WordPress Migratin’

WordPress Logo Given my disappointment in the current state of MovableType, I gave WordPress a little more consideration. I can overlook the Php implementation, but I was a little worried about preserving my old URLs. Some rudimentary investigation indicates that WordPress’ pretty URLs option, some creative metadata extraction from MovableType, and a little scripting could get the job done.

So I’m ready to bite the bullet and give the migration a shot. This is going to be a long term project though, so don’t expect any major changes around here soon. In fact, I’ll be working a test run on a virtual machine just to be safe.

Bonus. This also might be a way to get the New Media Hack content into a modern blogging system as well.
