How to Preserve Threads When Importing LiveJournal Comments to WordPress

http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2535

This is a follow up to my big long guide to migrating your blog from LiveJournal to WordPress. One of my biggest frustrations is that the importing process loses comment threading, which makes it a huge pain to read through old comments, especially if you’ve got lots of threaded conversations. So I decided to figure out a way.

This tutorial requires that you directly edit your WordPress database and PHP files. If you’re a complete beginner, you might not want to bother with this. If you’re familiar with MySQL and PHP, it shouldn’t be too difficult, and I’m happy to answer questions if you run into trouble.

For the Uncut Meme of Rose Love…

I’ve already written my meta about why Rose Tyler is fucking awesome, but here are a couple of my favorite moments.

Rose Tyler kills Satan. Not only is it gutsy–she risks her life to prevent him from escaping with them–but it takes brains to come up with that plan.

Rose figures out pretty much everything in “Fear Her”–she notices the missing children, connects them to Chloe, and finds the Isolus ship. And then she saves the day with a pickaxe. >:)
