Data Entry/Quality Control on WordPress Site

I am transferring an existing site to WordPress for enhanced content management capabilities. I have imported all of the data and 70-95% of it is accurate, but it needs to be checked for quality control. Also, some of the data needs to be transferred from one field to another (there are several custom fields set up in WordPress). All in all, this is what the project involves (and there's a link to an instructional video below)...

1. The current site has over 300 records/pages, and they've all been imported into WordPress, but I only want to publish about 210 of them (they're currently in "draft" mode). I'll provide an alphabetical list of the pages that need to published.

2. You'll have two windows open at a time -- a page on my current site and the corresponding new post (in edit mode) on my new site.

3. You'll copy image locations from the current site and paste them into image fields on the new site (two image fields per record, plus the alt text field for each record).

4. You'll cut some of the text from the imported headline and paste it into the page title field.

5. You'll double-check a few of the text fields (including the main post text field) to make sure everything copied accurately (this is a quick check, looking at the current page and the new page to make sure the import didn't cut off part of the text -- this sometimes happens because one character or another triggered the import to cut off at a certain point). If there are any problems, it's a copy and paste issue to correct it.

6. The WordPress post categories are currently found in one of the custom fields. Based on these categories usually 3-5 per post), you'll need to check the boxes for the appropriate categories in the standard WordPress categories area (I've already preset the list of categories -- so you just have to check the right boxes based on what you see in the custom field).

7. This new site is built on the Thesis theme, which has a multimedia box for embedding a video. Some of my current pages do have video on them, in which case you'd need to copy and paste the embed code if available. (If not, you disregard this.)

That's the basic overview of the project.

I've created a demo video that shows me going through all the steps here:

NOTE: I used a demo version of the ScreenFlow screen capture software, so there's a ScreenFlow watermark on the video -- you can still see what you need to see, though.

Thanks for taking a look! I look forward to your bid.
