How to import your data into Typo

There are several import scripts available to import your existing blog into Typo. For example, you can import a WordPress blog into Typo.

These scripts can be found under db/converters/xxxxx.rb

To run these scripts, use them from the command line. Each converter takes specialized parameters, so check what they are by running --help first.

Example:

  cd db/converters
  ruby wordpress.rb --help

An example call:

  ruby wordpress.rb --db wordpress-database

A: Make a copy of your MT blog and run the script that they provide to move it from BDB to a real DB. Then import from there. --scott
