CMSWatch: Migrating Legacy Content

This article about migrating content from an old site to a new one where a pretty CMS is implemented to get rid of the problems with the old site can be readworthy... Practical tips and advice.

"I’m here to tell you two simple things: first, when it comes to content management, I strongly believe that it is almost always better to start fresh, to wipe the slate clean, to (and here is the real blasphemy) completely avoid legacy integration. However, in an imperfect world, integrating legacy content is sometimes a must.

So I’m going to spend the bulk of this article on a second, simple point: there are actually good reasons to attempt to integrate legacy content, and good methods that can be employed in service of a very difficult task."
