I’m manually adding Delicious Juice Dot Posts from March 30, 2001 until October 30th, 2006 to a subdomain of this website. Manually, as in by hand. I’ve been at it for almost 2 hours now, and I have March through June of 2001 done.
If I add these posts at a rate of one month per night, it’ll still take me over 65 days to do it.
I think I may have to work faster.
Still, I’ll be glad to have my archives online again. They’re horrible and embarrassing to read, but where else am I going to go to find out what I did on February 23. 2003?
I’ll give the URL once I get a little more content added. It’s not perfect – pictures won’t import, and text that linked elsewhere no longer does anything. As well, I used to update by hand so each post was manually date and time stamped – on days where there were more than one post, I got lazy and shoved them all into one update for the day. So no, it’s not perfect at all. Hold off the crazed villagers with flaming pitchforks; I’m doing what I can.
so. many. words.

Why do you have to do them by hand? Are you sure you can’t get me or Josh to do some nerd-fu and have it read in stuff automatically? I assume you don’t really want to be manually adding all those posts.
I totally don’t :) Brooks managed to get the .BAK file into MS SQL2K, and from there into a .txt – but there’s no WordPress plug-in that I can find that’ll take a .txt and import it all pretty like. I know absolutely nothing about SQL and how to make it go .. do you? Can you try? I am offering beer and boobs! :D
I wish I could help, but I imported like 5 years of Livejournal to my WordPress blog and it all looks like buttcheek.
I’m sure it’s doable. It probably requires writing a script to read that text file and then give the appropriate SQL statements to the database. Why don’t you email me the file (or, if it’s really huge, send me an example blog post from that text file)? Then I can see if it’s something I could do.
Mmm, beer and boobs.
hay,
I just did the same thing, it took a bit – but it was totally worth it – got all my archives from 2002 at davin.dhs.org and davin.ws back online:
