I’ve started importing the posts from my old content management system (which were lying around in a database backup) into WordPress. As of now, they don’t seem to be showing up in feedreaders, so you’ll just have to visit the archives. As and when I import a particularly good one, I’ll link it.
Since this is a manual process, importing the entire 2003-2005 archives will take some time. On the other hand, this will make up for the lack of new posts.
Since comments will have to be imported manually too, those will have to wait for later. I may or may not ever import them.
Meanwhile, enjoy maadi.
If you have your old posts in a database backup (am assuming mySQL) then why do you have to import them manually. WordPress lets you import (2MB at a time) them with ease along with comments.
It’s a very custom database. No existing scripts. I could write my own script, but I’m terribly out of touch with MySQL right now.
I suggest you try this approach…
No need for such pain. The posts are already there with me. The stuff I wrote on TimePassTown, now that I need to get from the Wayback Machine.
