I’m looking at moving from WordPress to Octopress but I’m extremely skeptical about the whole post-slug url management. My current blog handles urls in this fashion:

myblog.com/post-id/post-slug
e.g.:
journal.kaush.co/283/recommended-mac-os-x-software-2011-2012

I understand Octopress has a url scheme as follows:

myblog.com/YYYY/MM/DD/post-slug

So if i have to setup 301 redirects, will this have to be done manually for every single page, or is there a more intelligent way to approach this?

Cheers

    Taking cue from Virtual Vagabond, i went the .htaccess route. Fortunately,another good soul on the internet has written a script for this. You can find the ruby script used to generate the .htaccess file here.
