It means that you won't lose any external references to your old posts, but the new posts will have WP'ish nice format. Here's the post: http://blog.noizeramp.com/2006/11/02/preserving-links-when-moving-from-movabletype-to-wordpress/ The steps are really simple.

I’ll have both the export needed (I’m going to do it via an index template rather than the mt-export function) and the hacked import-mt. I’ll try to post the link here too, so you can add it to the tuorial, but it will definitely be there if I forget to put it here.

We have a new topic-based, hierarchical navigation that shows the most relevant topics in a blog at each level of search so your visitors can successively apply topics/tags to narrow results further, finding any post with just a few mouse clicks. It's easy to use and integrates seamlessly with your site. Examples of sites which already use this capability include: - Bill's Movie Reviews, http://www.billsaysthis.com/movies, which also uses the 'Save to RawSugar' link right under each title. Example search: recommended family comedies. - Sprol.com, http://www.sprol.com, which is an environmental damage photo blog; the embedded box is at the top right just under the flags. Example search: industrial disasters. - Soft-hard, http://www.soft-hard.net/, which is a mature software and digital media site based in Russia.The topics box in both Russian and English, as the person who manages the site uses the same tags in each language to better suit his audience. Example search: software security utilities. Incorporating this into a blog is quick and easy: - Create a free account - Run a script to make an XML file listing all the blog's posts with categories used as topics and upload it to our service. - Go to the Publisher Dashboard, get the JavaScript--some aspects can be customized using options on this screen and for complete control of the appearance we use named CSS styles--and paste it into the blog template. - As new entries are posted, just tag them using our browser bookmarklet. Our initial offering is for WordPress blogs, support for MovableType is experimental and other platforms will be added soon. Try it and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results. We love to help, so let us know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for your time and consideration. Regards, Chris Hi Carthik, My name is Chris and my friend Bill Lazar showed me your blog
