How to import entries from Blogsome to Wordpress

Posted by andrew on September 3rd, 2005

At your new wordpress blog, go here:

http://yourblog.com/wp-admin/import-rss.php

Follow the directions. You may have to edit your import-rss.php file to add the link to your blogsome rss feed (http://yourblog.blogsome.com/feed/)

*** Warning! Before you actually run the import rss feature, you will have to reset your preferences under options > reading in your blogsome control panel so that all of your posts appear on the first page, and all are syndicated (I set both settings to “200″).

It will also import your post categories too. Cool!

The bad thing about this is comments are not exported from blogsome. Comments for the posts transferred are closed as well. I don’t know how to solve these two problems. But it does work in transferring the posts.

Hmm.. Looks like there are some error on your import-rss.php. Are you using the latest wordpress? Maybe you should try downloading the wordpress files again and reupload it to your server, and try the import again.

Let me know if that works..
