Wordpress currently creates date-tag-folders for imported media - if you import all media on the same day then everything winds up in one folder. I suppose that you could tinker with 'the code' but then you have to re-tinker with each upgrade... :) I took a look at your site and based on a quick review, the detail pages should move fairly easily into Wordpress posts. I did not review any media files but I am guessing that they might present the area where more effort is needed. Good luck with your project! :) Dale Response to Antonio –

I have a large site (linked to above) currently running a hand-rolled CMS that I would like to move to WP... someday. this article gives me ideas. But about the media file problem: I think you could write a custom plugin that changes the upload directory: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-upload-dir/ -- this could let you import things in a directory structure your images are in now? or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/uploads-folder/ ? or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/relocate-upload/ ? Don't know if that gets around the problem of re-sorting the media files. Interesting post.

or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/uploads-folder/ ?

or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/relocate-upload/ ?

Don’t know if that gets around the problem of re-sorting the media files.
