The script I used to import posts from my Wordpress blog into a new Jekyll one.

Importing posts from Wordpress into Jekyll.rb

%w(rubygems sequel fileutils yaml active_support/inflector).each{|g| require g}

require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "downmark_it.rb")

      db = Sequel.mysql(dbname, :user => user, :password => pass, :host => host, :encoding => 'utf8')

    %w(_posts _drafts images/posts/featured).each{|folder| FileUtils.mkdir_p folder}
