The self congratulatory praise I gave myself for successfully finding a way to import blogkomm comments and match them to the correct posts has been undermined by the fact that I put the entry date into the database in the wrong format. Which means that some of my commented are shown as being entered in 1969. A little while before I was born, let alone this blog.

Ah well, gives me something to sort out tonight rather than spend time bonding with wife and walking the dog. No problem normally - empty the table and reimport. Except that there have been comments made today that I don’t particularly want to lose just yet.

UPDATE @ 20:51
Well that sorts that out. Turns out that not only had I got the date format the wrong way around, but when I upgraded blogkomm last month, it reversed the dates again. So I had to do a double import after exporting all the new comments and importing them back again after the import of the blogkomm comments.

There’s been so much importing and exporting around these parts I’m expecting HM Customs and Excise to knock on the door any minute!
