Sorry Mephisto.. Moving to WordPress

Dear Mephisto, you’ve been great. We’ve been dating for a while, and I didnt have any complaints. but I’m sorta sick of writing blog posts in your web UI. I heard there are plugins for 0.8 for metaweblog api support, but after putzing around with rails 2.0 vs 2.2, etc… I decided to break up with you. It’s really because I wanted to play with blogo. No hard feelings. Lets be friends.

Hi WordPress. How are you?

We just ported our blog to WordPress. To import all our old content, I found m2wp.pl, which after adding some mysql patches, does a great job of generating a wordpress export file that imports perfectly from the WP admin UI. It was missing a few features, like correct author attribution, so I make some tweaks and put it on github if anyone is interested.

BTW, whats blogo?

Sor far I like.

One feature request for us techies, an easy TextMate “insert code here” feature.

UPDATE: don’t forget to cp your assets.
