As I said in my last post on Movable Type:
I am moving my blog to WordPress and to http://blog.niceperson.org/. I haven’t quite figured out how to do the redirects automagically yet, but I’ll figure something out. In the meantime, please update your links and bookmarks.
I’m not completely sure what I’m going to do with the main site, but I have some ideas.
Problem A (automagic redirection) has now been solved with the careful application of RewriteRules. Unfortunately it’s not spot-on for the single-post pages, because Movable Type and WordPress use different algorithms for creating slugs,
but that only means you’ll get the daily archive (which probably only contains one post anyway). It’s a quick, painless solution that requires no rebuilding of archives whatsoever. I’m pretty happy.
I have not deleted my Movable Type page hierarchy yet, merely moved it from archive/ to .archive/ (just in case there’s anything I haven’t anticipated). We’ll see how many 404’s I get from locations I’ve forgotten to redirect.
