To­day at lunch, I added sup­port for im­port­ing blog­ger (maybe al­so blogspot? They seem to be the same nowa­days) blogs in­to Niko­la 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!
