I really wanted to move over to wordpress on SQL but hit so many roadblocks during the migration. The major one was during the import which just didn’t progress. I’m not really certain why and to put it politely – the reporting just doesn’t exist.

1. Blogengine’s spam tool doesn’t delete spam comments causing my export file to go about 2.4MB – PHP folks would know this limit quite well.
2. Wordpress Version 2.9.2 (beta) had problems importing. Not sure if this was due to the WordPress file export version mismatch. The process was very eager to get to the “Have Fun” prompt without actually doing any import.
3. I got WP 3.0 running locally and managed to connect to sql and import but the actual hosting environment had issues connecting so this was a show stopper.

Anyway I will be leaving things as is but am I not sure when I will give this a shot again.
