Question

(Moderator's Note: Original title was: "Steps to move multiple wordpress installations to a WP MU installation")

Any tips on moving multiple WordPress installations to a single Multisite[1] installation?

[1] Multisite is the new name for WPMU.

For the record MU functionality was merged into core and is now referred to as multisite.

It's not really all that hard.

I've done it a number of times and never really had issues.

Isn't there a little step missing before step #2, though I appreciate #5.

and what step would that be? you mean export the content from the old site? I just kinda figured that was an obvious one since you had to import the content.

A couple extra handy links if you want everything in the db and have loads of images (there's some gotchas).

Otherwise, it's just like Curtis says. Export / Import.
