Thanks Tom & Juan.

I don't think I did the initial conversion correctly either according to this:
http://south.readthedocs.org/en/latest/convertinganapp.html#converting-an-app

So if I revert my models changes, delete the existing migrations
folder, follow those instructions about converting an app, then break
it up into the steps you laid out. All will be well. Correct?

Thanks,
Tim
