It was not fun to migrate the Typo blog engine I had before to Wordpress. So, I want to save others some trouble. First of all, this is the site that describes the process:

However, it’s ancient and the database no longer looks the same at all. You must dump the sql data from your typo database to your wordpress database from the following tables: articles_tags, tags, categorizations, categories and contents. Your wordpress installation should be fresh… DO NOT DO THIS TO A WORDPRESS BLOG THAT IS IN USE! You will lose your data if you do that. Backup your data regardless. I do not guarantee this to work but it worked great for me and I hope it will save someone a great deal of time trying to migrate from Typo to Wordpress. The below script was done with Wordpress 2.5 and Typo 4.1.1. The only thing I didn’t do was I didn’t migrate comments since I didn’t need to because most of my comments from my Typo blog were spam. I’m much happier with Wordpress, even though it’s in PHP )= So, here’s the sql script I modified to take place of the one that’s in this tutorial.
