We will NOT be using a template and the design is being done afreash by the team. The question really is, should I go with MT and why are people moving from MT to Wordpress? What is the basic need to do so? Do advise. R Hi,

I am trying to get a new blog designed for my business site and the team doing it has suggested MT. We will NOT be using a template and the design is being done afreash by the team. The question really is, should I go with MT and why are people moving from MT to Wordpress? What is the basic need to do so?

Do advise.

I have an "archive" of all of the old site's moveable type/typepad "html" files (all posts, comments, archives, articles, etc) I have created a set of scripts to convert these html files to a "friendly" html format, and a set of scripts to extract all the data i need to move it over to WP (author, post date, post title, body of post, each comment, comment author, comment author's email, etc) I've been trying to track down some information on the format for the MT/TP "import" file, so that I can just have my scripts write the extracted data to the import file format compatible with the existing WP "mt-import" script. I haven't had much luck, so, if anyone has either a) any documentation on the format for the "import" file created when you do a MT "export' or knows where it exists that would be a big help or b) if one of you who has already been through this process could send me a small sample or entire "import.txt" file zipped up, that would be perfect, I just need to examine the exact format of the txt file so I can get my "extract" scripts to create a set of these "import' files for me rather than try to write the extracted data directly to the WP database which would be my last resort. the site I'm working with contains over 11,000 posts/archive html files, so the first problem is that the export process for that many posts isn't working correctly, and the second issue is that the previous "webmaster", isn't being very co-operative with trying to create the export files, so I did a "site grab" of all of the posts, etc, created the scripts, and am pretty much ready to go except for the correct format of the export file. thanks..chris Hi, I’m working on a project where the old site used moveable tpye/typepad, I’ve posted a couple of questions recently to a number of wp forums and mailng lists.
