Another thing that I have been working on lately was getting my web site cleaned up.
Although it's not nearly done, one of the first things I did was make a final decision on my blog engine. I already talked about that earlier.
One thing that I definitely wanted to do, was take all of my old posts along with me. I initially took a look at the basic XML files that dasblog creates. It looked simple enough, so I started writing a quick program to convert all of my old posts (which resided in a SQL Server) and write them out to XML files that dasblog could use. Luckily, within the first few minutes I stopped and thought "You know, I can't be the only person that has done this before." Sure enough, Scott had a great post talking about the basics of migrating blog data from a random blog engine to dasblog. It made the conversion super easy. If you are considering converting from your current blog software to dasblog, you might want to bookmark that link so that it's handy when you finally get around to making the move ;)
