I'm switching over from Greymatter to Movable Type, but I want the entry number for my first MT entry to be the number after my final Greymatter entry. For instance, if my last Greymatter entry was /0000453.html, I want my first MT entry to be /0000454.html, so I can keep my Greymatter and MT entries in the same directory without overlapping numbers. How do I do this?

As I see it, you have two options.

The first (and this is what I would do) is to import your Greymatter data into MovableType, and have MT generate new pages for the old entries. This has the benefit of keeping all your entries in one database, which is great for editing/searching, etc.

Alternatively, you could create 453 new entries in MT, saving them as drafts (so that you don't overwrite any of your GM files). Then create your real first entry. It will be coded 454 in the MT database. Go back and delete the 453 dummy entries, and finally save your 454th entry to be published.

Thanks. I'll try one of those...
