standard method of import?

[Chris Kruger <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hello Mailing list,

I'm wondering if there is a standard way of importing articles into roller?

I currently have a blog with blogspot and would like to move it to my
roller installation. It seems a number of blog packages can import and
export to atom format - such as Blogspot. Any suggestions and ideas?

There is no import feature in Roller, but there are two web services
interfaces that you can use to import blog posts: MetaWeblog API and
AtomPub protocol. Unfortunately, import of comments is not supported.
Here's an example that shows how to use Groovy and ROME Propono to
post to Roller via AtomPub:

You can also call Roller's internal Java API to import blog posts,
images and other things. Here are some example Groovy scripts for
creating entries, comments, etc. via Groovy and Roller API:

Hope that helps...
