After being jerked around by Yahoo 360 I have finally bit the bullet and moved my blog away from that sinking ship. After a cursory inspection of the blogs available I picked b2evolution as the blogging software to install. It seems to be working out OK so far. I used a script to screen scrape my blog from Yahoo 360 and then wrote a little conversion program to take the saved HTML files and convert them to the Movable Type import format which b2evolution can handle. I've written a separate post on the conversion process for any other Yahoo 360 refugees who want to move their old blogs. If you aren't the DIY type, I was toying with the idea of offering to do the conversion for $20. Another option for 360 refugees is Multiply.com which has an import feature for Yahoo 360 blogs.
