HOWTO migrate from Blosxom to Wordpress. Uses the MT export format, which means things like hierarchical categories don’t transfer over. Hat tip: D’Ancy Norman. (2)

    My blosxom-based blog didn’t have a very deep hierarchy — only a few posts that were more than one
    deep — so for me it wasn’t a big hassle. Hey, at least I mentioned it:

    You can fix this after import and well as build up a category hierarchy, so it isn’t a big deal

    Fixing it up after import didn’t take too long. Just had to manually create a few categories that didn’t have posts in them on their own… Really liking Wordpress, but miss the way categories were handled under Blosxom - like, in Wordpress each category needs to have a unique name (meaning I can’t have a structure like /apple/ipod and /software/ipod - there can be only 1 ipod…)
