Norgren http://www.trollop.org/articles/2007/10/26/migrated-from-typo-back-to-wordpress/ Well, after many years of using Typo as my main blogging engine, I have switched back to WordPress. I had initially started using Typo because it was the only Rails-based blogging engine out there. Unfortunately, the quality of their project seems to have declined over the years.

After Typo decided to explode at me after using a quotation mark in tag for a new post, I decided I would go back to WordPress, my first blogging engine. WordPress has a long and well supported history and I will likely have fewer headaches for a blog that I barely touch in the first place. ;-)

Unfortunately, since there are no up-to-date utilities to migrate the database from Typo to WordPress, I ended up having to copy/paste all of the articles that I felt were worth saving. The problem was that I couldn’t copy over any of the comments made to any of my posts.

I apologize to anyone who left helpful/supportive comments over the years, but I couldn’t save you all!
