Experience migrating to wordpress from movable type?
Does anyone have any experience (or can recommend someone) who has migrated
to wordpress from movable type?
I think movable type is really not listening to its customers.
Simple things like comment management lead to a lot of work for example:
wordpress has features like entering a keyword v.s. movable type which forces you
to use a typekey service - not in my interest or the interest of my
readers!
A new version of Movable type is out but don’t see anything great in it - so now I am
seriously considering migrating to wordpress!

Wordpress offers an import feature that allows you to move posts and comments from Movable Type to Wordpress.
Set up a demo wordpress installation, go to Import and select Movable Type.
