Merged
Well, it took me a while, but I finally found a solution to my problem. What I did was download the WPexport plugin and used that to export the posts from my poetry blog into a Movable Type format and imported that file back into the main blog.
I still have to recategorize some of the merged posts, but that is still better than retyping each post one by one.
Update: Just finished with the recategorization. I’ll be leaving the former poetry page up for about a month before taking it down but anything new will be on the main blog.
