I don’t want my instructions to cause you to lose data.

  • Grab my mt blosxom flavor files and add to your $datadir. Right-click to save these files:
    content_type.mt date.mt, foot.mt , head.mt, story.mt
  • Edit story.mt and change the line “AUTHOR: marc” to whatever
    username you will be using.
  • If you are using the blosxom clicktrack plugin (00clicktrack),
    disable it.
  • Visit your blosxom site using the mt flavor:
    http://yoursite.local/cgi-bin/blosxom?flav=mt and save it into a
    file named import in your wp-admin directory. You may want to try
    this: lynx -dump http://yoursite.local/cgi-bin/blosxom?flav=mt >
    wp-admin/import.txt
  • Take a look at the import.txt file you just created. There are some
    things you may want to fix now rather than after the import.

    • Lines are wrapped at 79 characters, so long URLs or entry titles may be broken.
    • If you have a habit of using a bunch of dashes to separate text, the importer
      may get confused and think it is the beginning of a new entry. Consider replacing
      – with =
    • All the categories will be something like /nh (based on the pathname). You may want
      to remove the leading slash. You can fix this after import and well as build up
      a category hierarchy, so it isn’t a big deal.
  • Follow the standard WordPress instructions for import-mt.php.
  • If you don’t like your categories named with a leading slash (eg:
    /nh), then edit your new WordPress categories.
  • Start going through your posts and clean up any messes…

Rael has done a great job with Blosxom, but I wanted blogging engine was web-based (del.icio.us shows how nice such interface can be) and that had a large active development community.

The fact that my webhoster doesn’t charge extra for MySQL is a plus too.

Once I’ve migrated I’ll post the blosxom flavor I wrote to help the migration. It basically generates a Movable Type export format that WordPress can import using import-mt.php.

Take a look and then bookmark this new location: http://www.nozell.com/blog

T. Penney’s blosxom plugin href="http://www.blosxom.com/plugins/search/find.htm">‘find’ to
allow the last few search terms to be displayed by the blosxom

Use href="http://www.nozell.com/marc/blog/data/find-0.4.mn1">my version of
the find plugin and put $find::recentsearches in your head.html
template.

is referencing a bunch of images on my webserver. It looks like they
are using blosxom as some sort of aggregator. Take a look at href="http://osbourne.homeip.net/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi">http://osbourne.homeip.ne
t/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi.





Its nic
e to be noticed, I suppose.

I’m guessing their day job is at lexis-nexis.com and it looks like
they use a sun workstation to surf. :-)

plugin, href="http://www.nozell.com/marc/blog/plugins/debpackagetag">debpackagetag.
I’ve been putting links to debian.org’s package search engine in href="http://www.nozell.com/cgi/blosxom/linux/debian/laptop">my
debian laptop blog entries and this saves a ton of typing.

For example type <debpackage>blosxom</debpackage> to
get a link to the debian page for blos
xom.
