blacksmith-apprentice

Migrate your posts from your current blog and into a blacksmith-compatible format.

Apprentice currently supports the following blogs:

• wordpress
• habari

But adding support for [your current blog software] is as trivial as writing a MySQL query. Check out blogs.json for an idea of how to structure an apprentice-compatible query.

Usage

1. Run npm install blacksmith-apprentice.
2. Edit config.json to include your database details and its current blog engine.
3. run node apprentice.js. Apprentice will create an output directory containing the blacksmith-formatted posts. These can be put in your blacksmith site's pages directory.
4. These pages will be converted to HTML with your other posts next time you run blacksmith generate.

Notes

• Wordpress uses a <!--more--> tag to represent where the preview and rest of content are separated. Apprentice will change this to the blacksmith/wheat version, which is ## in Markdown.
• Apprentice does not transcode from HTML to Markdown, so if you use any HTML markup in your posts in [your current blog software], it will be unchanged. This shouldn't cause an issue for the Markdown -> HTML conversion that happens during blacksmith generate.
