Today at lunch, I added support for importing blogger (maybe also blogspot? They seem to be the same nowadays) blogs
into `Nikola <http://nikola.ralsina.me>`_ my static blog/site engine.

What works?
    Well, the only site I tried works, mostly.

    * Posts
    * Pages
    * Tags
    * Drafts
    * Blog Metadata (except language)
    * Redirects to keep URLs stable (at least it tries really hard!)
    * URL rewriting in the posts (it tries!)

What's not there?
    ..

    * Comments import (it makes more sense to import them via Disqus' import tool)
    * Attachments (images and such)
    * Much testing

It's basically on par with the Wordpress import, except noone has used it for real.
So, feel free to try!
