Blosxom to WordPress

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.

  1. 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

  2. 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…)
