Completed Blogger to WordPress import!

Now you can go and log in, have fun!

Blogger to

This is a basic Blogger to WordPress import script.

What it does:

• Parses your archives to retrieve your blogger posts.
• Adds an author whenever it sees a new nickname, all authors are imported at level 1, with a default profile and the password 'password'

What it does not:

• It sucks at making coffee.
• It always forgets to call back.

First step: Install WordPress

Install the WordPress blog as explained in the read me, then immediately come back here.

Second step: let's play with Blogger

Log into your Blogger account.
Go to the Settings, and make Blogger publish your files in the directory where your WordPress resides. Change the Date/Time format to be mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM (the first choice in the dropdown menu). In Archives: set the frequency to 'monthly' and the archive filename to 'wordpress.php' (without the quotes), set the ftp archive path to make Blogger publish the archives in your WordPress directory. Click 'save changes'.
Go to the Templates. Replace your existing template with this line (copy and paste):

<Blogger><wordpresspost><$BlogItemDateTime$>|||<$BlogItemAuthorNickname$>|||<$BlogItemBody$>|||<$BlogItemNumber$>|||<$BlogItemSubject$></Blogger>

Go to the Archives, and click 'republish all'.
Check in your FTP that you've got the archive files published. They should look like this example: 2001_10_01_wordpress.php. If they aren't there, redo the republish process.

You're done with the hard part. :)

Third step: w00t, let's click OK:

When you're ready, click OK to start importing:

Note: the script might take some time, like 1 second for 100 entries imported. DO NOT STOP IT or else you won't have a complete import.
