[consulting] Need Help w/ MoveableType Import

[Travis Carden]

Thank you for that link, Steve. That led to some very fruitful
reading. At Moving
from Typepad to Wordpress: 2009
Guide<http://foliovision.com/2008/11/17/typepad-to-wordpress> they
provide a custom MoveableType export
template<http://foliovision.com/downloads/typepad-to-wordpress/movable-type-export-template.txt>that's
supposed to capture the permalinks(using
<$MTEntryPermalinkRelative$>). We'll see how it works!
