[Hidden-tech] Automating transfer of files from Mailchimp to Wordpress

[Paul Stallman]

For clarity I didn’t mean  the Wordpress blog import.  I meant one of the
good import tools capable of this size data stream and yes I know it would
take work to parse the data from mailchimp initially.  I was more implying
that it could be done and blog posts would make more sense than a directory
versus it was “easy” if that was how my reply came off.
