Well, I finally did it. I finally managed to import all my old blog posts from my original Drupal driven blog site, to this lovely new WordPress driven blog. How? It’s 5 minutes past 12:00am in the morning. My girl friends fish died today, and I am really cold. In other words, I’m not not going to bother posting a tutorial show-you-how for importing all your Drupal blog entries into WordPress right now. If someone should ask me via the comments, then perhaps I will devise something for you. For now, just be happy for me, that I no longer need to deal with Drupal. Drupal was great, but it was over kill for my needs. In my case, anything that is over kill, leads to endless fiddling and testing!
In the mean time, you can find the solution to Drupals 30 Item RSS Maximum here: http://drupal.org/node/57569
FCOL: I then downloaded the entire feed with FeedForAll. Saved the feed as an XML file and then uploaded that to WordPress 2.2 using the Import facility and choosing RSS.
The only caveat in the whole process, is that all the posts were imported into the default category (blog) where they should rightfully be I guess. It’s just that I created a category called “old blog” and I wanted them all to go there instead…

Oh an FYI: Any links in any posts under Blog, that are “pre 2007″ probably don’t work! If they do, well that’s nice.
Another FYI: quincy.roycesoftware.com now points to this website, not the old website. Yes, I know about the Google API error. Do I care? no.
