Writing convertors...

My decision to switch this blog to subText means I'm going to have to write some weird convertors...right now the decision is whether to convert the dasBlog xml files to the DB schema used by subText or to convert my old DB directly (with the advantage that I'd also convert the old comments). Others have done this and used the BlogML format as an intermediary but to be honest what minimal investigation I've done into this method makes it look kinda fiddly. My choices are therefore to do a SQL->SQL conversion directly (but subText has a hashing form which I'd have to replicate...I guess) or SQL->MetaBlogAPI (preferred option as I know this API pretty well...) or XML->SQL (again hashing comes into play and I lose the comments) or XML->MetaBlogAPI (still lose comments, potentially pretty slow). Hmm, we'll see...lucky I enjoy coding :-)
