Best way to transfer a WP Blog to PW?

[totoff]

Hi Forum,

I'm working on a new corporate website which has to integrate a blog that is currently running as a stand-alone-blog under Word Press. The WP-blog has categories, pagination, archives by year and month and comments. My first idea was to use Ryan's blog profile but it is much to feature rich for this particular blog and its MVC approach doesn't play nice with my setup for the corporate site.

What is your opinion on the best way to do this? Would you strip down the blog profile to what is needed or start from scratch with something like Joss' news-system and build archives etc. yourself? (https://github.com/jsanglier/Pw-News/blob/master/newsfunctions.inc)

As ever, time and budget is limited :-(

Thanks for your thoughts

You could try Nico's new Wordpress Migrator module:

I would thoroughly recommend trying first on a test PW install to make sure everything works as you expect.
