This is a good guide. Thanks.

I am currently on typePad – http://concordextra.typepad.com/blog/

I am planning to move to wordpress -blog.concordextra.com. The design work is under progress.

What is the best way to move to wordpress ?

Great guide! Typepad hooks people because it is so easy to get a site going and have multiple sites on one account. But it is a bear to switch from.

I tried using the Import plugin in the WordPress Tools section and gave up and just started from scratch. I wish I would have come across this first. :/

What news are you looking for? Our guide is still accurate and WordPress’s core database remains the same.

Ah, yes. You need to use FV Top Level Categories going forward (WordPress 3.1 and later) and not Top Level Categories.
