So I’m well on my way to synchronizing my hodge-podge of scripts and code into a real blogging CMS. Soon this site will be using WordPress, which is a fantastic content creation and management tool. I’ve chosen it for it’s ease of use, extendibility, and the complete control it offers me over the design and code of the site. I’ve also used MovableType and Expression Engine on different projects but each of those systems have their downsides that I won’t get into now. WordPress has everything I need and nothing more.

So what is the problem? What is the delay? Well now my hideous mission is to enter every single update for four years into a database. I’ve looked at ways to write to my MySQL database- create some PHP to export what I have currently in my home-built system- but I’ve decided that would take longer than actually re-entering every single posting.

I’m up to April ’02, long way to go.
