Ah, thanks. Didn't think to look there.

I've made the jump now; http://www.jerf.org/iri/ is now a PyDS weblog.

Exporting from Radio UserLand (for anybody else who wants to make the 
transition) wasn't too bad, but you need to call xml.entityEncode on the 
text of all your postings, or anything with a high-bit character in it 
won't work; the XMLRPC connection will die on you. (I didn't research it 
but based on my experiences with Radio Userland I'd lay money it's 
because Radio Userland is emitting invalid XML; they *still*, **still** 
do not have the encoding correct. RU is a very dangerous platform to try 
to use XML on unless you are using strict 7-bit ASCII and never transmit 
double-encoded chars (i.e., <). You'd be surprised how often this 
comes up.) I haven't checked if that makes the posts come across 
incorrectly because Radio userland ends up double-encoding things, but 
at least they are *there*.

(There were still five posts in my old weblog that didn't come across, 
but I looked at them and decided just to let them die, rather then 
research what happened.)

That puts around 2100 posts into my PyDS weblog, and it seems to be 
doing just fine.

(If you look back at around 2000 and see some really poorly formatted 
pages, it's my problem, not PyDS's. iRights started life out on Manila, 
and Manila carried some of the message formatting into the Radio weblog, 
which then adds another wrapper of formatting around it. PyDS, as near 
as I can tell, is working flawlessly.)

As I write this, the re-render is still occurring so if you see the 
default template, it should go away in a while.
