Converting My GM Files

Tags: rant · WordPress

I wanted to convert my GM entries to WP since this year when I switched to WordPress for my blog. However, I had no idea how to. Not until lovely Prachin gave me this link.

However, after doing a bit of research and reading this and this, I’ve completely given up forcing my poor brain to try and downgrade to WP 1.2.1, convert the files, then upgrade back to WP 1.5.1. I read too, that they may be some errors since I’ve got existing entries in this current WP.

So, I’ve decided to do the manual copy-and-paste and backdating entries. I am actually ok with it. It’s just the comments that will kill me.

Anyway, my blog stats were rather interesting a few days ago:

Number 7, by the way, happens to be gemini’s lucky number.

All of the times I’ve visited, I thought your blog was WordPress, not Greymatter, till now. Hahah stupid me..
Good luck with that, I haven’t updated to 1.5.1 yet, nor do I want to 😛 I think I will wait for 1.5.2 to come out. Lol, shows how lazy I am.
Take care, Nadine!

Finally.. I’ve found your new URL after snooping around on Emily’s site 😛 Anyway, Hello again!

You shouldn’t have that much trouble importing your entries.. I had to import 100+ entries from Greymatter to WordPress 1.5 two months ago and it took me less than five minutes. Seriously.

Wow. Greymatter seems like a long time ago. The importing shouldn’t be too hard, but if ctrl-x ctrl-v is more to your liking, 70 posts ain’t too bad.

O__o I’ve not program for a long time, I’m too lazy lol. I’m using GM now and it’s the easiest thing ever. Have you tried Movabletype? I think it’s really sophisticated and good. But installing it is rocket science. Hee I got my chance on using MT cause my previous host installed it for me.

Bleh, I don’t bother about all this GM stuff. I do it manually lol. I had GM once but it was kind of a hassle. But whatever suits you!

ah, 7’s a lucky number to quite a number of people. how very interesting….

and shame on me, I just noticed the bottom graphic, it’s so cute/pretty. I like the little plant and the watery bit.

Hehe, my lucky number is 8. Anyways, wow, GM to WP? I don’t think I’d convert to WP… Hehe, copying and pasting, fun, fun. How do you backdate?! Anyways, I have to get going, so I’ll talk to you later! And btw, thanks for telling me the new url!
