I am setting up a discourse forum for my blog and as [I understand](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-wordpress-plugin-version-0-6-6/31585/13), there is no way to ~~sync~~ migrate **existing** wordpress comments to discourse topics and as its replies.  
Since that is the case, I was thinking of doing this task manually.  
i.e.

1. Create A discourse topic backdating it to the creation of the blog post
2. Copy over each of the blog post’s comments to the topic, creating/migrating a user account in the process

I have around 2,000 comments.

**Question:**

1. Is this a good workflow? Potential flaws?
2. Can I go an embedded an old blog post and the new back-dates forum top created? Does this mean I’ll have to use the [WP-discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-and-wordpress-integration/) plugin and the [WP-discourse-JavaScript](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/) plugin together? Is it even possible? Will this conflict?
3. Do you have a better approach?
