Man you rock.
Thanks a lot.

Sorry, slow on the respond… That’s basically what I use as well. I also have a few other’s for other files and most popular MT posts to redirect to the new locations and one to just redirect to the main page.

The last one is my favorite… I got sick of the script kiddies spaming my comments on MT so I just redirected them to a fun little place.
While this is an easy solution, it would be nice to have an option in the “Settings for RSS/RDF Feeds, Track/ping-backs” area to define where your feed is located. That way people could more easily move over to WordPress.
To change the url of my feeds I simply renamed the wp-rss2.php file. As long as I uploaded it with the file name first and published something so the feed was working, it kept going perfectly after I renamed it. I haven’t tried this with 1.2 yet but it works fine on my 1.0.1 blog.
Shouldn’t there be an option to change this from within the program? It seems like a necessary step for moving your site over from MT.
