Wordpress Kickstart

My last blog post focused on anyone that has a Wordpress website and wants to transition it to Drupal—easily. We wanted to streamline the process to make migrating to Drupal as easy as possible in as few steps as possible. We came up with is a small kickstart Drupal distribution that is easy to install.

In the battle for CMS dominance, there are three main players in the Open Source space: Drupal, Wordpress & Joomla. This blog isn’t a comparsion of the three, though there are plenty out there. What I want to focus on is all of you who have a Wordpress site and want to transition it to Drupal—easily.

We have found that there is a lot of user crossover between these platforms, Wordpress in particular. The maintainer of the Migrate module, Mike Ryan, has done great work on the Wordpress Migrate module which leverages the Migrate module to import Wordpress content into Drupal. While this module is great, it still requires Drupal users to execute several steps to be able to download and install Wordpress Migrate.
