This program will parse raw HTML pages of Kuro5hin diaries and post
them to a Wordpress blog using in the Wordpress XMLRPC API.

Requirements
=============

To use the program you will need the following software:

* Python 3
* The python-wordpress-xmlrpc package:
  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-wordpress-xmlrpc

Of course, you will also need the Kuro5hin diary entries you want to
import. I grabbed mine from "What's Left of K5, AKA Mumble's Archive"
described here:

Using the Program
===================

This is how I used the data:

1.

I downloaded and unzipped this file:

http://k5.semantic-db.org/diary-slurp/161942--archive-diaries--html-diaries--nested-format.zip

2.

My username is "makohill" so searched through and copied diary entries from the location of the unzipped entries with a command like this one:

grep -l -r 'HREF="/user/makohill">makohill</A>' LOCATION_OF_ENTRIES|xargs -i cp {} .

3.

Once I did that, I modified and imported the data with a command like:

./diary_parser.py 2002-12-26-9150-8083.html

By default, the entries are posted with "pending" status so I could check then first. If you have many entries, you might want to tweak this. Details on the Wordpress XMLRPC API and the Python module I use is here:
