Doug,

Good luck. I finally made the switch from Wordpress to Typo a few days ago. Still coming to grips with it, but mostly very successful.

One other change that I had to make was to fixup some numeric XML entities (like "ሴ") in article titles.

Set 
     $KCODE="u"

Then for each article:
      a.title = CGI::unescapeHTML a.title

It seems that Typo escapes the characters in the article titles, but Wordpress doesn't. I am probably the only person in the world to use these numeric entities so I haven't bothered submitting a patch. Quite happy to, if anyone thinks it's worthwhile.

Other than that the conversion process worked great.

BTW I can also recommend my hosting provider, a2hosting. They support rails and even have a knowledgebase article for Typo (https://support.a2hosting.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=378&nav=0,23,36)

Again, good luck.
