I am currently on Subtext too and migrating to WordPress because of several reasons, some of which you have already stated. SubText was a very poor port from Scott Water's .Text. The source code also seems poorly managed and the main "evangelist" and owner for Subtext, Phil, seems to have moved on to Microsoft and the Project is facing neglect. I have evaluated WordPress quite extensively before making the switch. One of the best things about Wordpress is that since it has such a large user base, the platform is tested and the code base is quite stable. Also, running on Apache makes the pages render in factions of seconds on shared hosting, compared to SubText or other .Net engines that have a longer cold startup time. Could you please give me more details on your URL rewriting / redirects ? Did you do a 301 redirect for all requests in old blog and then handle the actual forwarding in new WordPress blog ? Jason,

Now we have a commitment to make this move, so I need to finally take this on. the version of subtext is 1.94. It could be 1.95? The blogML export does not work either. The database has hundreds (maybe thousands) of records. Your post is very helpful, but the part you left out about the dirty details of how you were able to get the data out of the database and set up the table parameters for import is key to this. Any info would be very helpful. Sorry for not getting back sooner. Now we have a commitment to make this move, so I need to finally take this on. the version of subtext is 1.94. It could be 1.95?

We have a rather large Subtext site that I want to port to WP. I can't get blogML export to work either, so it's good to know that it's Subtext, not us. Can you detail how you were able to export the database tables and keep them intact? Specifically I'm curious about the order, structure integrity, and how you ported it to MySQL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Great to know someone pulled this off. We have a rather large Subtext site that I want to port to WP.
