Import blog posts

[rossjones]

Need to be able to import blog posts and categories etc.
Take existing posts and convert them to the correct name (based on their location) and add them as html files. Future posts should be in Markdown.

Also needs an index.html

At ckan/ideas#49 was suggested that
http://girliemac.com/blog/2013/12/27/wordpress-to-jekyll/ or https://github.com/benbalter/wordpress-to-jekyll-exporter might work.

Also need to think about the blog comments. http://girliemac.com/blog/2013/12/27/wordpress-to-jekyll/ shows how to use Wordpress to export comments as WXR format and importing them into Disqus. All looks feasible, assuming we're happy with Disqus?

@adamamyl are you able to give us access to Wordpress - admin priviledges and ssh access, or do the export yourself using one of these guides?

[adamamyl]

[checks] I don't have access to the ckan WordPress admin. @rgrp and @nigelbabu should, though.

@rossjones i can get you wordpress admin on that site. Just ping me on irc or similar ...

[rossjones]

Sorry no time/interest/inclination for messing about with WP. Perhaps @adamamyl who suggested the tool to do the export might have time?

[adamamyl]

@rgrp if the ckan blog is on the OKF blogfarm, it may be tricky to install the extension. If it's solo, and anything like when I did it for my blog, it'll take ~15mins.

@rossjones Going to assign this to me. Not sure when I'll get around to it, but I will sometime after okfestival.

@nigelbabu it would be great to get this in place now the fest is over - this one's been blocked for a while and is key for CKAN Association.
