I commented out the /incl/header.inc.php lines as these would be handled by WP instead… Not sure how critical they are, they could be moved to the WP Header include, but it seems to work without them now…
I am getting this error now though, not sure if its an error or just a warning:
Use of undefined constant SID – assumed ‘SID’ from Line 20 in /incl/header.inc.php
Everything so far works besides that error message.

Cool, thanks, I’ll check it out… Hopefully this can get vetted into 1.2 before release. Hate to hack the upload.php each time for such and obvious feature…

Judging from your sites, I doubt you’d need much assistance. Add in the great support for questions here and it shouldn’t take more then a few hours to get them over.
The content is quite easy to port over. The style and templates takes a bit of getting used to, but compared to MT, its more like unlearning it, then learning anything new.
Since its all php based and really just one file to edit. You can do all the style and layout in your HTML editor of choice…
If you are really interested in having someone to pay to do this for you, well, I’ll help once I know more of the scope of what you want done. However, I think you can easily do the move without paying anyone.
Just set up a test install of WP 1.2 beta or a nightly, do an export out of MT, import it into the new install of WP and play around till you get it right. Once you are ready to switch, there are some other quick hints if you search or ask here to make everything easy.

Sorry, slow on the respond… That’s basically what I use as well. I also have a few other’s for other files and most popular MT posts to redirect to the new locations and one to just redirect to the main page.

The last one is my favorite… I got sick of the script kiddies spaming my comments on MT so I just redirected them to a fun little place.

Behold the power of Slashdot and the GPL 🙂

Just for validation, my new 1.2rc1 validates just fine, so I suspect you are on to something with the dates not being RFC-822 compliant, (Try using numbers instead?) and the fact that the encoding might be different, look at the default index.php that comes with 1.2rc1 and see what it now is being defined as and change yours to match and see if it revalidates?

One little thing… I get this at the end:
» Link Categories Stats
Array
Links, 10 Links
I don’t have any Categories assigned to my links, is that why?
