Packing
12.03.00 - Mark
Writing a decent script to move all of my 1350 posts (+ comments!) into a database is nearly a fruitless effort. I couldn't get blogger to output everything in something resembling a useful file (I'm not supprised, I've discussed the issue before), So I'm going though the painful process of copying and pasting all of the entries. I whipped up a couple web forms and tied them to the database to make entry a little easier, but bleh. I've barely finished one month worth of posts (leaving me with ~1300)
Part of it is that I'm homebrewing a blog engine, but even if I was moving to word-press I couldn't use the existing scripts.
At least its fairly mindless, and I can eat my way though my podcast playlists while repeatedly hitting command C Tab Tab V Tab Tab.

I feel your pain, having just struggled to export 5,000 + posts from Radio to TypePad.
My comments and some other stuff didn't make the jump, but I'm happy enough.
Good luck.
