So far the transition to WordPress is going nicely. I have imported all my old entries from Movable Type, but all the old draft posts require that I change the date or else they show up as today (or whatever day I move them from draft to publish status). It would be much more convenient if the draft posts from MT were imported as a private entry within WP. I can see that I will also need to spend some time organizing my categories in some logical fashion instead of my previous practice of pretty much creating a new category for each post.
But I am having fun! :^)
