* I had to do it by hand. Every single site. Some of the non-WP/Blogger/etc. feeds wouldn’t go. Blogger would only export in a CSV and there seems to be no way to convert that into the standard OPML feed-reader file format. I’ve also had many troubles importing my content from there – pretty much all of my images in old posts are out of whack (which might be the thing to push me into publishing the Galerie des Modes translations for real). It’s an outdated platform and I’m glad I’ve moved, but what a HEADACHE!
