I have just migrated (long overdue!) James’ blog from MT 2.6x to WordPress 2.2.
I used Alex King’s mt-wp-redirect template when I migrated my own blog from MT 2.6x to WP. While it works reasonably well and most old links are forwarded to the equivalent new links, I have to keep the old site around, and because of the differences in the old and new links, the Google PageRank of my blog fell from 3/4 to 0.
With James’ site I followed the instructions here . I created a file containing all the relevant redirections and used the “Include” directive to get Apache to read the file. It works a lot more seamlessly than my previous method and now I could just blast the old MT installation, data files and static files away.
Maybe I should do the same thing w/ my own blog.
