Blogger to WordPress Import Utility

Blogger to WordPress

This is a basic Blogger to WordPress import script.

What it does:

What it does not:

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 b2 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 'cafelog.php' (without the quotes), set the ftp archive path to make Blogger publish the archives in your b2 directory. Click 'save changes'.
Go to the Templates. Replace your existing template with this line (copy and paste):

<Blogger><cafelogpost><$BlogItemDateTime$>|||<$BlogItemAuthorNickname$>|||<$BlogItemBody$>|||<$BlogItemNumber$>|||<$BlogItemSubject$></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_cafelog.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, and running the script again might just make you have double posts.
