In my case it replaced the individual archive – should have mentioned that

ecto and nnw work for me… with categories… using a nightly from the other day 1.2 alpha

I am still working this through how exactly this will work in my situation.
One post I have :
https://www.atmasphere.net/mt/archives/006882.html
will correspond to either:
https://www.atmasphere.net/wp/archives/1850/
or
https://www.atmasphere.net/wp/archives/2004/03/27/on-microsofts-xna-play

Can anyone tell me what the correct way to redirect this might be? As I previously mentioned I have close to 2000 posts so I need to figure out a way to dynamically figure out where to send the visitor of the old system.
One thing I suppose I could do would be to move the new blog to /mt from /wp which would keep the site the same. Or I can bite it and lose some fantastic G**gle action and just keep everything in wp.

Looking at https://wsabstract.com/howto/htaccess7.shtml
I found this :

htaccess uses redirect to look for any request for a specific page (or a non-specific location, though this can cause infinite loops) and if it finds that request, it forwards it to a new page you have specified:
Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html https://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html
Note that there are 3 parts to that, which should all be on one line : the Redirect command, the location of the file/directory you want redirected relative to the root of your site (/olddirectory/oldfile.html = yoursite.com/olddirectory/oldfile.html) and the full URL of the location you want that request sent to. Each of the 3 is separated by a single space, but all on one line. You can also redirect an entire directory by simple using Redirect /olddirectory https://yoursite.com/newdirectory/
Using this method, you can redirect any number of pages no matter what you do to your directory structure. It is the fastest method that is a global affect.

I’ve got close to 2000 posts … do I have to do that for each one? It’s not clear how redirecting the directory works… as the numbers will be different on the two systems.

I’ve got permalinks on the MT site … example – https://www.atmasphere.net/mt/archives/006882.html
If you could help me better understand how to redirect through htaccess, would greatly appreciate it.
I guess the best way to do this is to leave the MT site and redirect to WP right?
Glad you like the site.

Yes you sure can – and it’s amazingly simple to do.
Just go to yoursite/wp-admin/import-mt.php
There you will be guided on how to change one line in order to import your exported MT.
