How We Moved 34k Wired Pages to One Site

I'm about to transition an old Drupal site with 10+ years of content to WordPress with new URL patterns. I'm curious, how have you approached the doubtlessly massive number of redirects at Wired?

Once you have a list (which you already have if you've automigrated it) just generate a list of rewrite rules with header set to "Moved Permanently".

But I'm curious, usually platform changes go from Wordpress to Drupal because people need features other than a blog and simple CMS system. What made you go the opposite route?

Because Drupal is a horrible, horrible system with a flawed architecture that promises a lot and never fails to under-deliver.

(Sorry, I worked at an agency that sold a lot of oversold drupal6 projects)

I recently completed a pretty huge D7 app. The biggest challenge was not the code, but pressuring our customer representative to not over-sell...
