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

[Paul Stallman]

I don't think it's completely automated, but I also don't think it has to
be done the way Jen used to do it for you by copying and pasting each
article into a post.  It's a combo job, some of each and then using the
right import tool to map the info into posts.  If Jen hadn't gone out on
medical you would have most of these in posts already at least 3 years or
more.

You still might.  I still have your wordpress site with a lot of these.
