Wordpress Update in Progress
I’ve almost completed the port over to WordPress, and only have a few things left to fix.
Rather than the default WordPress template, I’ve chosen one from Alex King’s site that was designed by B A Khan.
I’d better get back to trying to sort the Permalinks & Feed URLs out…
Update
I’ve set up automatic redirects for the feeds, so those that are using “301 redirect” aware aggregators should notice no change.
I’m still working on getting the old permalinks to redirect to their new locations, any help on this would be appreciated.
Update 2
I’m having no luck at all coming up with the code needed to make the .htaccess file redirect my old style urls to the new WordPress generated URLs… gonna call it a night and take a fresh look at it again tomorrow.

The old URLs still work, why not let them die of natural causes? :)

What do you mean the old URLs stil work Alex?
The old URL: http://www.twenty4.org/archives/2004/01/04/ipod_speakers/
The new URL: http://www.twenty4.org/archives/2004/01/04/ipod-speakers/
Notice the “-” instead of “_” in the WP URLs.

I assumed you meant the old index.php?p=123 URLs.

Ah, no Alex, I mean my permalinks from MovableType.
Maybe if this isn’t possible, you could maybe make it an option in a future WP update? It would make moving from MT to WP that little bit more effortless.

Post a request in the forums, I’m not involved with the mod_rewrite stuff.
