#WordPress Text Export
This is a simple Ruby script I use to convert a WordPress export file to plaintext that I can then load into a tag cloud generator.
#Instructions
- Export posts from your WordPress blog.
- Go to the administrative interface
- Go to Tools -> Export
- Optionally, select a date range and other constraints
- Click "Download Export File"
- Your browser should then download an XML file with a name like "blogname.wordpress.2012-01-01.xml"
- Feed that file into this Ruby script:
- ./wordpress_text_export.rb blogname.wordpress.2012-01-01.xml blog.txt
