Part One - Dissecting the WordPress Import/Export Format: Categories
I’m working hard in my spare time on transitioning my longest running project - DVD review site UpcomingDiscs.com, which I co-own - from hand-built CMS to WordPress.
What I’m trying to do is move 3000+ reviews (including comments, screenshots, rankings, and DVD metadata) from my clunky, work-around riddled data architecture to nice clean blog posts. What this means is shoehorning the complete contents of UpcomingDiscs into the WordPress Import/Export format so that I can pull the whole site into a WordPress install - i.e.: I’ll be generating a fake WordPress export file from UpcomingDiscs and “importing” it into a real WordPress install. This is no simple task given the legacy complexities of UpcomingDiscs - but as I’m discovering with a lot of investigation, can certainly be done.
