As I went to sleep last night, I realized two things: I was probably making things more complicated than they needed to be, and that I hadn’t done the two things that Every Good Webgeek should do – google and check the WordPress Support Forums. When I woke up this morning, I did search the support forums, but all I could find was a plugin for WP 1.5.X (with corrections in the comments for making it work for WP 2.X) I read through the posts, got called away to go grocery shopping, and decided that I didn’t want to sledgehammer something into working.
The entire point of USING WordPress is that it’s simple, elegant, and EASY to use, after all.
No, this wouldn’t do at all. So, what’s an enterprising AND incredibly motivated chick to do? Google it, of course. And that’s where I found The WordPress-to-WordPress Import Plugin by Aaron Brazell. I’ll let you read the post itself for credits, origins, and how-tos, but it really couldn’t be simpler. The only issue I had is that the XML file it output was too big to import all at once – I had to split it and run the importer twice (once for the giganto XML file to process, and then again to catch the stuff that I’d split off).
And now, since I can rest easy knowing my blogchives are all in one place again, I’m going to feed those monsters rugrats the fruit of my loins the boys.
