Blog Migration - Success!

For the subscribers, I apologize if you have a slew of new and re-used posts in your reader.  I have been in the process of migrating from Community Server to SubText and then to BlogEngine.NET.  It seems as though BlogEngine.NET has a more active community than SubText which is run by the very busy Phil Haack of Microsoft fame.  I am happy to report that the migration is, for now, complete.

I decided to write a migration tool that would move the data over - I did so using the BlogML, MetaWeblog & Blogger apis, C#, WPF, and the Cook Computing XmlRpc library.  There are tools (one even comes with BlogEngine.NET) but they don't move over the linked images and since some of the posts that survived my last migration have pictures, I didn't want to move them manually... 

There was some effort involved and the code needs refactoring but all in all the utility works well.  Once I have the time to clean it up and if anyone is interested, I will post the utility and code here.
