Starting from Scratch?

I’ve looked at the options for exporting my blog from WordPress and back in to MT (PapaScott’s Export from WordPress and Carthik’s option) and … well, there is one problem. I have a LOT of posts. I mean, a LOT. Like 6000 posts or some crazy number like that. I’m afraid that the options out there will cause my server to seize up in to a coughing, wheezing ball if I try to run either of them. The load would be just to much to bear, and would probably fall apart somewhere in the middle.

I just don’t see a good solution.

Would it be wrong of me to just start fresh? To point people to the old site if they want to run a search? Or better yet, to test out something like the Google “search within this site” option to allow people to search both the MT and WP versions of my site?

I hate to lose the history. I would include the old archives in my archive page somehow. But moving data around just doesn’t seem to make sense, and it is the only roadblock in my move back to MT.

So is it wrong to start fresh? Or should I just go for it? I’m asking you guys because you’re more likely to look at old archives than I am. If I need something, I just go to Google. (They seem to index all of my posts there anyways!) So, what do you think? Your opinion matters!

Makes a Mother Proud…

We still had two slices of pumpkin pie left from last week. Jason decided he wanted some pie. His first request sounded like something from weebl and bob. “I want pie. Mmmm… pie.”

Mike went out to the kitchen to get him a slice of pie, but he hadn’t heard Jason’s whole special pie request, so I told Jason he had to sing his pie request. I meant for him to just repeat what he said.

Instead, he sang a whole song about how he wanted pie to the “Camptown Races” toon. All of it. “Oh I want pie, want pie right now, oh, doo da day…”

I’m still giggling just thinking about it. What a way to make us proud!

Pie is good. Mmmmm… pie!
