If you’ve ever thought to yourself “I’d like to spend a week doing something really tedious and frustrating involving databases and swearing”, I would recommend migrating a blog from Drupal to WordPress. As you can see, things are a bit cleaner around here, and hopefully the switch will mean I’ll be posting a bit more. However, the entire process was a headache. There is no easy ‘import from Drupal’ plugin for WP, and there is certainly no ‘export to WP’ option in Drupal. So, things had to happen the hard way. My database skills are about on par with my rhythmic gymnastics skills, which certainly didn’t help matters. Still, I managed to move everything over, and I *think* all of the links from the old site still work.
If you do find something that doesn’t work the way it should, please let me know.

Agreed. Drupal was overkill for a site I was doing and now I’m trying to move to WP from drupal. Not a good time!
So where is the tutorial!? I’m hoping to do the same and maybe you can help others!
Yes, I prefer WordPress even for light CMS projects.
