Moving to a wordpress

  • Hi, i was thinking about using wordpress as a news manager for my website. I already have a news script that was writte by a friend. It uses a mysql database- the table’s structure is

    Heading varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
    Name varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
    News text NOT NULL,
    Timestamp timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE KEY Timestamp (Timestamp)

    what would be the easiest way of inserting posts from this table into a wordpress?

    Because i aint going to type them all back in again.

  • The new WordPress 2.0 has an improved import framework, but for 40-50 posts I’d consider doing a simple copy and paste of each post.

    I know ugly and boring…

    … and i have to set the date for each post… I haven’t updated yet- i’ll try out the import thing on WP2

    Yes, but you could enter the Post Timestamp with each post.

    I had a similar situation and just ended up saving the page that my old blogs/posts were on and then linking to them from my wordpress in the archives.

    The layout ends up looking entirely different and what not, but at least it’s still there.
