I'm starting to regret having built this site with Drupal. Don't get me wrong -- Drupal is amazing software. But it's a little bit overkill for my humble blog and portfolio, and I'm not sure I can easily maintain it as new releases come out.
Wordpress I know much better, having used it for various projects for years, and I know how to do complex stuff like moving it to a new server or re-importing the database.
I know Wordpress and Drupal well enough that I could migrate the content of this site quite easily. I think I could even do it while maintaining all the URLs, so that neither my links nor links from other sites would be broken. The problem for me lies in the Drupal-specific features I've integrated into this site. For example, the portfolio page is generated dynamically by a Drupal plugin called "Article". I suppose I could rebuild it from scratch, but I've already put the work in.
Is there an easy way to do this, or should I just get used to the digital equivalent of mowing my lawn with a nuclear bomb?

Thanks Kerim -- I'd seen one
Thanks Kerim -- I'd seen one of the sources linked to, but the other one is quite helpful. I suppose I can use Wordpress' "Pages" to hold Drupal's "stories", although then I'm also using "Pages" for directories, like the portfolio and about me page. Or a special category... Here's where Drupal's specialization and Wordpress' good all-purpose attitude come into conflict. But this is a place to start -- I hadn't thought I could modify the database "in place", which is cool.
