You know, last night I was juuuuuuuuust about to use that plugin before my DNS got screwed up and I couldn’t access my original host. Seeing this post was helpful since it let me know that it does all the work for me. The DNS issue straightened itself up this morning and I ran the plugin tonight with zero problems. Yippee!

Anyways, if I even make a blog/website, I’ll make sure to visit these helpful guides again!

[...] of course the UTF-8 conversion could not go off without a hitch. It seems that comments are sometimes not converted correctly, [...]

I should mention that so far, Chris has helpfully pointed out one comment that got messed up in the conversion. It was an apostraphe that got converted into three characters of gibberish.

So far, in a few cases where commenters used the apostraphe, ellipses , or quotes, the symbol got changed to junk. So I guess the plugin is not perfect. However, from what I can tell, the plugin worked correctly in most cases (in posts, in links, etc.).

Tell him to hurry up, because I want to read your sleazy School Days post, lol =D. When stripped of kruft, our database was about 7 Mb, and took maybe 30 seconds to convert.
