So for the past couple of years I have been using wordpress to host my blog. And while it is a very advanced, very mature and very flexible system, it takes too much upkeep to keep it up to date. And I found myself spending more time on the admin of word press than actually using it to write blog posts and what not.

So I have switched to using Tumblr as my blog host. I figured everything on this blog is public anyway, so it doesn’t matter that it is in public space. And I have also (I hope) migrated all my comments to use disqus. I used this ruby script wp2tumblr , that I found in this blog post http://mwunsch.tumblr.com/post/454540000/wp2tumblr-wordpress-to-tumblr-import-script to do the import. I modified it so that it would output a log file that I could import into discus and it would switch all the comments to the correct posts.

Here is my modified script wp2tumblr
