I was able to painlessly migrate my Tumblr blog to WordPress using the handy Tumblr2WordPress script. The script timed out the first few times I ran it, but eventually it exported all of my Tumblr posts (900+) as an XML file that I imported directly into WordPress. It did not preserve the “friendly URLs” I had in Tumblr, but that shouldn’t be too much of a problem since I’m not getting a lot of search engine traffic to the site.

I was concerned about whether my photos would make the transition over. In a way, they did. The export preserved the links to the original files on Tumblr. I would have preferred that the photos be pulled over and hosted with this WordPress install. That is a project I have to pursue later by manually moving each image.

The site still needs a few design tweaks, but it’s all gone pretty well. Before on Tumblr and after on WordPress.
