I have some homegrown blog software. I'd like to move the posts to my new b2evolution blog using ./blogs/admin/import-mt.php included with the install, but I can't figure out how the file should be formatted. I can't find any examples.
I tried it with a file called import.txt in ./blogs/admin/ and got:
"The file [import.txt] does not seem to be a MT exported file..."
Can someone tell me what a file should look like? I've seen the MT templates, but that doesn't help me since I don't have MT and I'm not sure how it parses the templates.
Here's the content file I tried to import:
TITLE: titleofpost
DATE: 02/08/2005 00:10:00 AM
AUTHOR: ben

BODY:

I'm using: import Movable Type into b2evolution - version 0.9.0.9pre
and b2evolution Paris if that makes any difference...

So, I've found this. This guy seems to have had my problem, but solved it, but I can't figure out how... Anyone? Please....
