I imported my Jekyll from Squarespace's Wordpress XML with this
# coding: utf-8
require 'rubygems'
require 'hpricot'
require 'fileutils'
require 'safe_yaml'
require 'time'
module JekyllImport
# This importer takes a wordpress.xml file, which can be exported from your
# wordpress.com blog (/wp-admin/export.php).
module WordpressDotCom
def self.process(filename = {:source => "wordpress.xml"})
import_count = Hash.new(0)
doc = Hpricot::XML(File.read(filename[:source]))
(doc/:channel/:item).each do |item|
title = item.at(:title).inner_text.strip
permalink_title = item.at('wp:post_name').inner_text.gsub("/","-")
# Fallback to "prettified" title if post_name is empty (can happen)
if permalink_title == ""
permalink_title = sluggify(title)
end
if item.at('wp:post_date')
begin
date = Time.parse(item.at('wp:post_date').inner_text)
rescue
date = Time.now
end
else
date = Time.now
end
status = item.at('wp:status').inner_text
if status == "publish"
published = true
else
published = false
end
type = item.at('wp:post_type').inner_text
categories = item.search('category[@domain="category"]').map{|c| c.inner_text}.reject{|c| c == 'Uncategorized'}.uniq
tags = item.search('category[@domain="post_tag"]').map{|t| t.inner_text}.uniq
metas = Hash.new
item.search("wp:postmeta").each do |meta|
key = meta.at('wp:meta_key').inner_text
value = meta.at('wp:meta_value').inner_text
metas[key] = value;
end
name = "#{date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}-#{permalink_title}.html"
header = {
'layout' => type,
'title' => title,
'categories' => categories,
'tags' => tags,
'status' => status,
'type' => type,
'published' => published,
'meta' => metas
}
begin
FileUtils.mkdir_p "_#{type}s"
File.open("_#{type}s/#{name}", "w") do |f|
f.puts header.to_yaml
f.puts '---'
f.puts item.at('content:encoded').inner_text
end
rescue => e
puts "Couldn't import post!"
puts "Title: #{title}"

def self.sluggify(title)
title.gsub(/[^[:alnum:]]+/, '-').downcase

POST_REGEX = %r{(?<year>[0-9]+)-(?<month>[0-9]+)-(?<day>[0-9]+)-(?<title>.*).html}
files = Dir.glob('*.html').select{ |f| f.match POST_REGEX }
files.each do |post|

Hi - great importer, thank you very much. One question: it does not seem to import multiple authors. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks.
