Hi, this blog is no longer maintained, my new blog is here

Ruby On Rails and a Conning Israeli entrepreneur

Finally on Mephisto

It wasn't easy, but i made it.
finally the move is complete and 'Elad on Rails' is running safe and sound on my local machine (domain move is expected soon, after Christmas maybe).
The move was not as simple as i expected, Blogger does not offer an out-of-the-box solution for exporting your blog posts/comments, but as i mentioned in the move planning post, i found a way to do that using the Blogger draft engine. This was a hugh disappointment, the xml that was produced by the export option was terrible and made me realize that there is no simple way to get out of blogger (and Mephisto didn't help as well, no BloggerConverter implemented...rrrr).
So, i decided to do the easiest and simplest thing as possible, installed a local version of WordPress, imported Blogger (yes, WordPress has a blogger import tool) and from WordPress to Mephisto it went like a breeze (Using the Mephito WordPressConverted).
They only thing that went wrong is that i had to lose the Hebrew tags from blogger, apperantly Mephisto doesn't like Hebrew.
That's it.
