Does anybody on my f-list know of a utility that imports old Blogger posts into LiveJournal? I mean, it seems like the kind of thing lots of people would want to do, surely somebody must have written one by now...?

Haven't tested this.

I found this on someone's blog. Don't know if it works but thought I would pass it along so you could check it out. There's also a part two on her blog about this.

Thanks for the link -- it looks like this is good for new posts, but what I'm looking for is a utility to grab all my old, archived Blogger posts from 2002-2006 and chuck them into LJ under the appropriate dates. I fear it may be too much to hope for, though.

You should be able to web-crawl them. Then at least they won't be lost.

This should be possible; both LiveJournal and Blogger have APIs that let you get at posts.

Looking further, LiveJournal partially supports the Blogger API (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=218&q=blogger&lang=), so if you can find a client that lets you move posts from one Blogger blog to another that could work too.

It probably won't be possible to move old comments from Blogger along with posts, though.

OK, I just whipped up two Ruby scripts to do this: one to download all the entries from Blogger (as Atom feeds), and the other one to take a files with Atom feeds and post them to LiveJournal as entries. It may take some competence to actually use them. (You will need to be able to install the livejournal and Hpricot gems for Ruby, and since I use Linux I may not be that much help if you use Windows.)

I can e-mail them to you or something if you want.

Sorry, Rebecca. I can't help you there, I'm still trying to figure out how to use blogger myself, having just started a blog there. (http://merelyawhim.blogspot.com/ in case you're wondering...) Does it auto-save to your files or something? If it does, then maybe you can upload the old posts from there?

Like I said, it's all pretty much Greek to me. Greek and Ass-backwards.

Good Luck!
