Rodent Regatta

Using the method originally suggested by Rick Klau, following these procedures and using Bill Kearney’s exporter tool, I’ve imported my Radio entries into Movable Type – TWICE! Who knows why I got duplicate entries, but I did. So, now, there’s a lengthy editing process under way.

The editing process is laborious:

• First, I’m having to delete the duplicate entries – that’s taking forever!
• Then, there are the differences in formatting of entries between Radio and this weblog, so those have to be done
• Categories have to be assigned to the imported entries
• Backups have to be made every so often
• One thing I didn’t have to do was edit the export file. The notes I used related to a much older version of the exporter that Bill Kearney wrote. I didn’t have to edit the ”Body:” line, the date or anything else.
• I’ve got a problem of some sort with the July and August, 2002 archives
• I’m sure there’s more

Sometimes I think the world would be better served by a return to wooden pencils and yellow legal pads!
