Importing atom feeds to WordPress
Thursday, February 17th 2005
I'm a bit surprised that no import scripts for atom feeds exist. It's not _that_ different from rss.
I needed to import some [blogger](http://blogger.com/) entries, and I didn't perticularily like the bit where you have to tell blogger to stuff stuff on your server through ftp. Why? My server doesn't run ftp services. So there's that.
So I wrote a quick and dirty script to import atom entries. Actually, I just modified the existing _import-rss.php_ script, so it didn't take long. Stuff [this script][kode] in your _wp-admin_ folder, and visit it through your browser. Pray that it works. Email me if it doesn't, but I'm not making any promises...

It's tested on Wordpress 1.5. May work for 1.2. May be useless in 1.6, where it seems like the Wordpress guys are [revamping the whole import business](http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_1.6).
