+WordPress › Import from Movable Type
+
+
+
+
+
+Howdy! We're about to begin the process to import all of your Movable Type entries into WordPress. It's pretty easy, but it can possible take a little bit of time so be patient. Before we get started, you need to edit this file (import-mt.php) and change one line so we know where to find your MT export file. Look for the line that says:
+define('MTEXPORT', '');
+and change it to
+define('MTEXPORT', '/path/to/your/import.txt');
+You have to do this manually for security reasons.
+If you've done that and you’re all ready, let's go! Remember that the import process may take a minute or so if you have a large number of entries and comments. Think of all the rebuilding time you'll be saving once it's done. :)
+On our test system, importing a blog of 1189 entries and about a thousand comments took 18 seconds.
+The importer is smart enough not to import duplicates, so you can run this multiple times without worry if for whatever reason it doesn't finish.
