Moving blogs sucks, so lets make it easier…

This script will allow anyone to mass transfer all the posts from a specified WordPress blog to a Tumblr account as well as transfer the comments to a specified Disqus account. Manually transfering a large number of posts can be time consuming, so instead use this wonderful script! Wp2Tumblr uses Tumblr API and Disqus to repost blog posts/comments from an exported WordPress blog. This script has been tested to work with Tumblr API 1.0 and Wordpress 2.3.3 (WordPress eXtended RSS format).

Directions:
Don’t run the script if you don’t know what it does. This script was a quick coding exercise so it does not have fancy error handling. Use it at your own risk. If you don’t know what you’re doing, ask for help :)

- Install the script on a server that supports PHP 5
- Export your WordPress blog
- Edit the script and input your general parameters
- Run the script by invoking its url with the following query string: ?exec=true
