This script is great and saved me a lot of time. One minor nitpick: it doesn't translate colons in the YAML front-matter to an : entity.

This script helped me alot!
But I had to fix for when the node type is 'page'. Other than that, it worked perfectly.
Kudos!

When I run your script, I get the following error:

[orschiro@thinkpad Blogger to Github]$ ruby import.rb blog-08-03-2013.xml

Can you please help me on this?

I was able to fix the error @OrShiro is referring to by changing line 25 to:

when 'template', 'settings', 'page'
