exporting/converting from roller to wordpress

[Rob Sanheim <rs...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to move my blog from roller to wordpress.  I was
wondering if anyone has any tips/ideas?  Wordpress has a generic rss
import, but the rss feed from jroller only has about a months' worth
of posts.  Is there some way to get the rss for my entire archive?

thanks,
Rob

You can use the MetaWeblogAPI to grab your entries. There is an example 
app that shows how to do use MetaWeblog API to save all of your blog 
entries as separate HTML files: 
http://mediacast.sun.com/details.jsp?id=68. You could repurpose it to 
post them to or format them for Wordpress.

The only problem might the 100 entry throttle. Well, that and the fact 
that MetaWeblogAPI won't fetch comments. I think the version of Roller 
used at JRoller.com still limits the number of entries returned by 
MetaWeblogAPI to max 100.
