I think I've done it. I got all post content importing how I'd like. I've got view to redirect requests to old Wordpress post urls / categories / categories feeds to their new uuid based permalink. I can customize the site name. And I've added pagination to all of the public views.

Now all I have to do is actually make the switch!

Got image rewriting working so all posts will use the Tanzawa standard photo insert...and noticed a bug when I import images.

Photos taken with an iPhone rely on the exif data to indicate the proper orientation. However, I strip all exif data from photos when I save them for saving size and enhancing privacy....

No exif data to orient the image and vertical images appear sideways.  The solution is simple:  rotate the image before stripping / extracting the exif data. Thankfully the fix is simple.

I've got streams being set properly for each category. The last bit is to clean up the content automatically and rewrite / swap out image tags. Particularly photos posted with Sunlit. Posts made with Sunlit are displayed as an <a> tag (which links to your original image with a "-scaled" suffix) and an <img> tag with a source that proxies through micro.blog.

It also has an attachment of the second photo, which I am automatically inserting into the post.

I need to extract all <a> tags, detect if their href attribute has a "-scaled" in it, and strip that. Then I can look in my database for that attachment entry in my db and rewrite the tag as a Tanzawa image insert. Shouldn't take too long. Maybe tomorrow.

There's light at the end of the tunnel. I can import all of my post content, including check meta-data, bookmark urls – everything. The only remaining tasks is to build a custom 404 handler that will redirect visits to the old Wordpress urls to their new Tanzawa permalinks and to use the configured Category -> Stream mapping record.

I’ve got all of my extractors written. Next up is actually importing the content. In my import I’m also going to automate cleaning up some of the markup. 

I have a few pages on blog. I’m not sure I want to support pages yet (at least not in such a free form). I could import them as posts, so the content moves over. But instead I think I’m going to move them to my wiki instead.
