Now that I've compared the two, I like the Wordpress community better. Not that the EE community isn't good also. Just personal preference.

Of course, back up your EE blog - critical files, database, and key templates. 2. Make sure you are suing EE 1.4.2 or later, if not, upgrade. Yea, I know it’s a pain, but why are you using such an old version? fasdfasfd 3. Read the wiki here: <a href="http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Export_Entries/" rel="nofollow">EE Exporting Entries</a>. Follow it verbatim closely. IT’S CRITICAL THAT YOU REMOVE ALL WHITESPACE FROM THE CODE THAT EE HAS ON THEIR SUPPORT FORUMS. No blanks or spaces at all, just keep the line breaks as is. Replace “default_site” with name of your weblog. Go to the index page and select “view rendered template”. If you cannot view the index page, you’ve probably misnamed it. Make sure your comments are there completey written out. If it’s ok, then do view source, save as the default name (index.php). Note that you can export a max of 999 entries. If you have more you’ll have to go back and do this more than once and limit to older entries. 4. In Wordpress, go to Import and click Movable Type. Browse to your file. If your admin name doesn’t match you will be prompted on how you’d like to fix that. Select import. The wait can take while if you have a lot of imports. Here is the solution step by step:
