+
+Its finally happening. I'm moving this blog from WordPress to Pelican.
+This task has lived on my TODO list for over two years.
+
+During the process of the move, I'm going to use this post to dump hints:
+
+.. contents:: Hints:
+
+Good luck!
+
+WordPress XML to JSON
+------------------------
+
+I wrote `this tool to convert Wordpress XML dumps to JSON <https://github.com/russellballestrini/wordpress-xml-to-json>`_.
+The tool is opinionated and removes lots of data.
+
+
+Pelican-import
+------------------------
+
+A tool to convert WordPress .xml into .rst or .md files (ReStructuredText or MarkDown) is
+`pelican-import <http://docs.getpelican.com/en/latest/importer.html>`_.
+
+I suggest checking it out, even if you do not plan to use Pelican as your static site generator.
+
+Add date to post filenames
+---------------------------------
+
+After using `pelican-import <http://docs.getpelican.com/en/latest/importer.html>`_ I had about 150 `.rst` files and I decided to put the date in the filename, so I wrote this short bash script tool to do the renames
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  files=`ls *.rst`
+
+  for file in $files:
+    do
+      the_date=`grep ':date:' "$file" | awk '{ print $2; }'`
+      mv "$file" "$the_date-$file"
+    done
+
+Alter category to tags
+-------------------------------
+
+category and tags have different meanings and assumptions between wordpress and pelican.  As a result I decided to change all my categories to tags using this command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  sed -i'' -e 's/:category:/:tags:/g' *.rst
+  
+Alter attachment and image paths 
+----------------------------------
+
+fix paths to images / uploads to remove wp-content:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  sed -i'' -e 's/\/wp-content//g' *.rst
+
