Converting Wordpress to RapidWeaver blog
29/02/08
Since I have had a long time problem with access to my website (often failed database or webserver connections) I have decided to move everything from my old blog to RapidWeaver for the MacOSX. This allows me faster access to my blog. Since RapidWeaver can only import the Movable Type blog format I needed a way to convert the WordPress information. Fortunately a PHP script already exists to make this work - wp-export-mt.php.
Simply downloading this to your WordPress root directory and then opening it in a web browser will allow you to convert all of your posts into a 1 page text file which uses the Movable Type format. After that you can simply use the import feature of RapidWeaver and voila, a working blog of all of your old posts.
Note: I do not know how this works with comments but it worked great with the posts themselves.
