Freenode is okay; they just had to change their server name to avoid bots. If you go to https://freenode.net/news.shtml you’ll get the scoop.

Never mind. Got it fixed. Sorry to bother!

Appreciated, thanks!

I know that, but the import script works off the MT text export, which does not preserve post IDs. I want to preserve post IDs, and I don’t see how I can without directly converting the database.

Apologies for reopening a closed thread, but… could you tell me more about this hack? I am interested in moving my blog to WP, but as it is, my MT installation uses the post ID in the permalink (I know, I know, cruft-free URLS rule!), and I can’t see any way to keep the IDs as is unless I convert the MySQL database.
Ideas?

Note that if you have a RewriteRule in your .htaccess creating friendly permalinks, referencing the template in the URL you type into your browser won’t work. What you want to do instead is add “&order=ASC” to the rule in .htaccess, thusly (for a category archive):
RewriteRule ^archives/category/?(.*) /index.php?category_name=$1&order=ASC [QSA]
or thusly (for a month/year archive):
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?name=$1&page=$2&order=ASC [QSA]
Hope this helps someone.

Very cool. Thanks for the quick answers!
