This evening I hacked together another importer for WordPress. This one imports from Serendipity and I built it for my friend Carol who had lost all search engine benefit (she had been dropped from Google) and overall had a hard time with her template. I’ve been promising Carol I would help her since September and she’s been quite helpful in reminding me of that promise. We’ve got her over but I’d like to work with another Serendipity user or two to perfect this importer before I release it into the wild.
I’d also be curious who else is in need of this.

I hope the search engines pick up this post, because the Serendipity forum had a few posts about imports to WordPress, but there were never any responses that seemed to work.Thanks again, Aaron — I’m so happy to be back on WordPress…I did like Serendipity, but WP is more functional for me.

If there’s one thing about WordPress, it’s that there’s never any shortage of people who want to switch over from another platform.My next goal is to find someone who wants to come over from Typo.

This was me a few months ago – and I never looked back. WordPress (and you) have been very good for me.

Serendipity is not so bad, but I got used to WordPress and would like to move an other, older blog from s9y to WordPress. Is your import tool available for download somewhere?

There are a lot of us out there that want to switch. The main reason we haven't switched yet is because our blog has lots of links and comments that we don't want to lose and we haven't found much success with getting all that over with the std. import tools. Have you been able to tackle that issue? S9y has some great features but in terms of interface and usability it's sorely lacking. Our non technical writers and even some of our technical writers are so frustrated with S9y.
I usually do work on these things when I have a business interest to do so.I have not had any s9y conversion work recently, so I haven't put more workinto this. Would be happy to discuss contract opportunities with you. Thebenefit being for you as well as all s9y users who want to switch and don'thave the perfect tool yet. This importer gets us most of the way there butnot completely, as you note.
