wow! How did you get so many html pages anyway were you using WYSIWYG software to create them? What you need is a software I not know exist but this is doable. If it doesnt exist then it comes with a price for sure! You got me really thinking about making such a tool now, I'd probably make it a plugin for immediate import to WordPress. If it doesnt exist that is. My brains already working on how its going to be done and there is lots of potential issues. Like you will have menus in your code etc and also I assume your html files are in different directories. Still I'm really interested in doing this if it does not already exist. I'm currently working on a major upgrade for my CSV 2 POST plugin but it shuold be done by end of week then maybe I'll create a prototype for this. Maybe!
i believe its brilliant idea to create a software doing that job... i think many webmasters think about the same thing as i do and as far as i know this problem has no solution so if u'll create a software to convert html pages to any CMS it will be great.... i'm agree with you about the css and the layout of the pages but just start and then solutions will come ...
