So I’ve pretty much finished transferring all the old content from my old websites database to this one.

I’ve stuck it all in a new section with different sub-pages for each thing. There’s still a few things I need to fix, namely some of the HTML on the quote page which stops the pate from validating properly, then I’m off to make an archives page so I can take that section off the main page so the index looks a lot cleaner.

Should look pretty decent here when I’m done, then I can restart my WordPress theme I had going.

When I find it :\

So after much discovery on many, many backup discs, I have imported posts from about 5 different revisions/versions/whatever of my site from over the years.

Even as I post this I’m still finding old shit that I can import into here, so far I’m back as far as August 2005, although I’m sure I can go back further than that.

Cheers?

So after 6 billion hours of writing shitty code at silly o’clock in the morning, I have now successfully imported all my old posts and comments into wordpress.

This means I can now finally realise how much crap us lot talked back in 2005 :D.

I’m not sure if this is a good thing.

So after remembering/discovering that I still have my old sites database stored in SQL on here, I’ve been pondering how/if I should retro post all of this stuff into wordpress or not.

If it wasn’t for the fact There’s like 60 posts to do, I’d do it manually. So I’m going to write some kind of script to do it,  hell, I might even go so far as to add all the old comments (although I’m not sure what pearls of wisdom this will add to the mix).

So over the next few days (hopefully), I should convert most of the old stuff over.

Deep joy, etc.
