Wordpress 2.1 and Migration to Wordpress Multi-User
As most of you know, Wordpress 2.1, to much fanfare, has just been released. This is the application I use to manage this and several other blogs of mine. Its quite popular amongst the blogging folk.
Though I didn’t expect much, or want much, the most important feature for me was the ability to export my blog. With this I can start utilizing Wordpress Multi-User (WPMU). The most important difference is that I can utilize WPMU to easily manage my several other blogs.
All I had to do was upgrade my previous blogs to version 2.1, export the file, and import. Well at least it sounded easy. Along the way I ran into..several problems.
The biggest one being, during import my categories are screwed up. Sure I could have waited until it worked, but that would mean waiting, which I didn’t want to do. I wanted to move my stuff, NOW. Similarly I’ll just move my posts to the other blogs, and make this site more casual.
So here it is, my new blog running on Wordpress MU. A few things still aren’t working properly but I’ll fix them, within time…
Luckily I backed up everything, so if need I could just go back, but I think I’ll leave it as it is. 
Any chance you could tell us what those issues were and how you fixed them?
