(This is a guest author article.)

I hope RT won't mind me announcing this major change on Hari's Corner but I thought some of you might miss my feed reader RSS/Atom updates. Don't worry, that's the only change as all other permalinks are preserved.

This is a result of my very own converter script which I wrote in a couple of days of furious coding and I'm happy with the way results have come out. I am going to publish it and share it with the b2evolution community so please do try it out if you have the time (and the inclination).

This import script converts WP 2.3 (I didn't test with lower versions) and converts it to b2evolution 2.0 alpha. The script is completely stand-alone PHP and just works on the two databases (the WP one and the b2evolution one to import into). It doesn't use any WordPress or b2evolution functionality and works purely on MySQL commands to do the work. Hopefully the importer script will be released in a short while to the public.

In the meantime just update your feed readers for my blog everybody. :)
