Old posts imported.

So I managed to finally import my posts from my RapidWeaver site although it was far from simple. Firstly I had to purchase RapidBlog and sign up for a Blogger account. This enabled me to synchronize all my RapidWeaver posts with Blogger. This however took three day’s as Blogger has a 50 post per day limit and I had 102 posts in RapidWeaver. Once this was completed I had to setup a WordPress blog with WordPress themselves, as there import feature only works with there site and not personal installs of WordPress. So once imported to WordPress I could then export the posts back out in an XML file and import that to my own of WordPress site.

Now it’s not all perfect, some of the links are wobbly because they link to other RapidWeaver pages I had / have (I haven’t deleted the old site yet), and the tag’s and category information needs tidying up. However I will go back over these pots over the next few weeks and tidy them up.
