Applying potentially the best planning & executive advice I ever received (thanks Carolus!!), I sought to identify the last step and work backwards.<\/p>\n
Importing Evernote Data into WordPress<\/strong><\/p>\n The last step in the content uploading process\u00a0is transferring Evernote notes into WordPress. Though I didn’t want to get ahead of myself, I wanted to know something about how this works up front (or else I would have to abandon using Evernote for the beginning!).<\/p>\n There is a plugin (Import HTML Pages<\/a>) that takes html pages with tags and converts them to WordPress. Reading forum websites suggested this plugin as a solution for importing Evernote posts. It seems to work as such: an Evernote Note is exported\u00a0as an HTML directory with attachments; the plugin specifies which HTML tag (most like <div>) that has content and the HTML tag (most likely <title>) that contains the title; it also uploads the images and other attachments included in the HTML file; it claims to even fix internal links such as a “Next Section” link that connects Notes in a linear fashion; and it allows both categories and tags to be applied to all of the future WordPress Posts or applied selectively through a custom HTML tag.<\/p>\n Importing Word Document Content into Evernote<\/strong><\/p>\n My second technical challenge was finding the most efficient way to upload text from Word documents into WordPress and not directly copy what would likely be over 200 posts. This took a couple minor experiments, but I learned that Word Documents are only included in Evernote as Attachments and dropping a .txt file into the Evernote application item in the Dock would convert the file to a new note. Thus, by converting my six thesis chapters into .txt files. I could create six corresponding notes in seconds. I could then rely on Evernote to divide each chapter into smaller posts and to attach tags for sub-topics addressed. Once I realized that not only .txt files work like this, but rich text files (.rtf) that\u00a0maintain the formatting and tables, this task became much less daunting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Applying potentially the best planning & executive advice I ever received (thanks Carolus!!), I sought to identify the last step and work backwards.
