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…

FCOL = For Crying Out Loud

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.

So after a coffee with my girl friend and a couple of episodes of xxxHolic, she decided to go to sleep and I decided to come back to play with my new (old) blog! So now I got some ad-sense ads crankin’, bit of a navigation thingy happening here and there, search dooby, calendar, and a few others plug-ins that should assure my further success in this online blogging world. I think I will now use this as my WordPress test site as such, and get rid of my “official test site” as it is just a pain to keep maintaining it, and it’s probably best if I use a live site for testing. That way I can see what plug-ins work with other plug-ins I am already using, not to mention I’m not too concerned if things go offline for a while!

Well thats all from me for now. Need to go get some sleep, got a busy day coming up tomorrow (err today… )
