 * Thanks for all your work on SEO Data Transporter. It came along at just the right
   time.
 * I’d been using Headspace2 but it was overkill for the small parts of it I was
   really using. I ran into a conflict with another essential plugin so I decided
   it was time to switch to something else. I used your plugin to get my data out
   into custom fields and then just coded up what I needed in my theme.
 * I didn’t care about converting to any specific plugin or theme so I just examined
   your code to pick a target platform that used visible custom fields to make things
   easier for me. Along the way, I made a couple enhancements for my own use that
   I thought I’d share here…
 * Headspace2 actually has a META Keywords field that is compatible with some of
   the other platforms but was not defined in your plugin. I added that and also
   defined an entry for custom stylesheets even though no other platforms have that
   defined yet.
 * I also noticed that the key in Headspace2 was “scripts” and not “Custom Scripts”
   as defined for the other platforms so I fixed that too. Here’s what I ended up
   with:
 *     ```
       'Headspace2' => array(
       	'Custom Doctitle' => '_headspace_page_title',
       	'META Description' => '_headspace_description',
       	'META Keywords' => '_headspace_keywords',
       	'Custom Scripts' => '_headspace_scripts',
       	'Custom Stylesheets' => '_headspace_stylesheets'
       ```
   
 * My goal was to eliminate the plugin I was using but preserve as much of the data
   as possible for later use. That led to the idea that it could be useful to define
   a target platform that contained all of the possible fields the other platforms
   used but as visible custom fields. Those fields could then be used to transfer
   data from any of the other platforms for safekeeping or use. Here’s what I defined:
 *     ```
       'Visible Meta Custom Fields' => array(
       	'Custom Doctitle' => 'Meta_Title',
       	'META Description' => 'Meta_Description',
       	'META Keywords' => 'Meta_Keywords',
       	'noindex' => 'Meta_noindex',
       	'nofollow' => 'Meta_nofollow',
       	'noarchive' => 'Meta_noarchive',
       	'Canonical URI' => 'Meta_Canonical_URI',
       	'Custom Scripts' => 'Meta_Scripts',
       	'Redirect URI' => 'Meta_Redirect',
       	'Custom Stylesheets' => 'Meta_Stylesheets'
       ```

 * Here are a few more definitions for Headspace2 fields I found in my database…
 *     ```
       'noindex' => '_headspace_noindex',
       'nofollow' => '_headspace_nofollow',
       'noarchive' => '_headspace_noarchive'
       ```
   
 * They each contain the value “robots” when active so that may have to be converted
   to a different value to be compatible with other platforms.
