+This repository has three branches with three different version of the
+script.
+
+I've run this twice and I've found that every PyBlosxom instance is a
+little different and requires a different (sometimes very different)
+version of this script. If you want to use it, you will *need*
+to modify it to fit your needs. I've included three version of this
+script in three different branches. Please use git to look at the three
+to pick and choose what you want.
+
+1. pyblosxom2wxr-snarfed.sh: This is the version available on
+ http://snarfed.org/pyblosxom2wxr
+
+ It assumes posts are .txt files which are HTML extension
+ and assumes both posts and pages as distinct types.
+
+2. pyblosxom2wxr-revealingerrors.sh: coverted http://revealingerrors.com
+
+ This assumes only posts, in .txt files, but which are all in fact
+ markdown files. It also takes into account 'tags' using the tags.py
+ plugin and assumes that they are the second line of every file
+ following a "#tags" line.
+
+ REQUIRES: markdown_py
+
+3. pyblosxom2wxr-copyrighteous.sh: converted http://mako.cc/copyrighteous
+
+ This deals with two types of files: .txt files which are standard
+ html pyblosxom files as well as .rst files which are restructured
+ text. It also looks for comma separated tags in the "#tags " line of
+ each file.
+
+ REQUIRES: python-docutils
+
+ HUGE WARNING: This version of the script changes the GUID or the
+ permalinks. It does *not* keep the links that worked with your old
+ version of PyBlosxom. I done because I usd date based URLS and I
+ wanted to get rid of them. The script *also* writes a new file,
+ called "url_mapping_list" in the local directory. I use that to set
+ up a series of 301 permanant redirects with Apache so that people
+ going to the old links still arrive at the page.
+
+Known Bugs / Workaround
+-------------------------
+
+One bug I have not worked around is that comments are created with the
+'comment_author' field in the database including either the IP address
+or the IP address and time timestamp pre-pended to the name. I think
+this might be a bug in the Wordpress import code. Rather than debug it,
+I wrote a simple perl script (fix_comment.pl) which will fix the
+comments in the database. It's an ugly kluge but it worked for me.
+Please read it carefully before running it.
