When I decided to move my blog from Wordpress to Tumblr I did a lot of searching to find a tool that would import my content. I found a couple of solutions, but none that worked for me. After taking a look at Tumblr’s API docs I decided to throw together a simple script that would parse a Wordpress export file and post the content to Tumblr. It turned out to be pretty easy. Since this is one of those scratch an itch type of solutions it is biased a bit towards the type of content I needed to import (mostly plain posts formatted with Markdown). I am posting it in the hopes that it will be useful, but as always, caveat programmor.
