Transfer WordPress content over to Ruby website

I have a project which I'm working on and will be my first product. I'm currently building it on WordPress and while I learn more about Ruby I want to build this project in Ruby as a part of my portfolio.

So I was wondering if there's an easy way to transfer content from WordPress into a Ruby website. I don't want to continue building the WordPress site if at some point it will be a problem for me to transfer the content over.

Hi Lee Hughes unfortunately not :( You'll have to write a custom importer from a wordpress export file or rss feed to get it to work on your Rails site.

Thanks Jason Seifer, I'll keep this in mind when I start building the website.
