Okay: so I sort-of figured out the import. The format I was using was pretty much correct but there cannot be *any* blank lines in the import file and the blogger export was creating one. I can use the MT import facility to get the posts into the blog and it confirms that it has done this successfully, but they do *not* show up. Not in the category I mapped them to and not in any other category. I can't see them in the target blog and I can't see them in the Blog All blog. I can see them in mysql but they're not coming up. The user I mapped them to exists and has all the usual permissions in the blog...

Am I missing something obvious? Everything was successful in the import but I can see no posts...

Oooooooookay.... here's the thing: none of the posts were showing up because none of them had been given a post_status. Not just not given a post_status of published, but not given a post_status full stop. That whole column in mysql was blank. So I had to go in and do a mysql update to add 'published' to each post_status et voila: all my posts.

Is that a bug? Or just something screwy that happened to me?

One of these days, I will post something to these forums which I do not end up answering myself...

How did you get your blogger template to output to the correct format? A tutorial listing all the steps needed to import blogger into b2evo would help loads of people.

How did you get your blogger template to output to the correct format?

Good question... I can't recall where I saw the thing to begin with (I think it may have been on a Userland <> MT conversion page, but you need a special format for Blogger posts. I'll try and put together a tutorial on this...
