Cognitive dissonance research challenged

John Clarke and Bryan Dawe on the intricacies of the sub prime mortgage crisis.

Really, this is adorable.

Stories. Mostly from life. Beautiful in the way that life can be sometimes.

After installing wordpress three different times (do I want it in a subdirectory or the main root? What should the subdirectory be called? Do I want a static page as index, or the blog?) I’m now on to the mind numbing chore of importing about *five years* worth of hand coded blogging.

My solution? Open up my LJ XML export file and reverse-engineer enough of the schema (the LJ schema is a lot simpler than the wordpress native format) so I can slug the old posts into a ready for auto import XML file. (The only headache here is correctly coding the date/time tags) Then go though each post manually and set the category. For me, this is a lot simpler than just posting the content and trying to backdate.

It’s been noted in the past that I will, without fail, find the most complex method to do anything. I seem to be wired that way.

Still trying to figure the most convenient method for cross posting…

I think I’m in danger of falling in *love* with WordPress.
