Comments

How important are the old comments?

When I switched over to my own domain from Blogger I also started utilising the commenting system built into WordPress. On Blogger I had used Haloscan, a free commenting service many people use that works exceedingly well. There is an export feature, but to use it you must have an updgraded account for $12 US a year.

So my question is, are 677 comments between September 2004 and January 2006 worth 16 Australian dollars?

If after exporting them I could correctly import them to the right posts at this domain it may well be worth it. If not, and I would have to input them individually, then there would be no use paying for it – and is the very reason I’ve never taken the time to do it manually.

Looks like it could have been done relatively painlessly when I first made the switch to WordPress here…but I’m not sure I’m brave enough to tinker with it now.
