<div id="content">
<p>I finally converted my old blog posts from Livejournal to
ikiwiki. They have no real value to anyone but me and it hasn't
been a real priority to me anyway.</p>
<p>Livejournal is capable of exporting the blog posts in an xml
format with html markup inside, so it's rather simple procedure to
compile markdown pages for ikiwiki to consume. This is mostly
because you can use plain HTML inside markdown pages.</p>
<p>I did the conversion with XSLT, which started with a simple
template and grew up a bit once I added some cleanup features (like
filenames and metadata). The script itself is <a href=
"../../../2010/02/livejournal-import/">available for download</a>
and the <a href="../../archive/">archive</a> is available for
browsing.</p>
