WordPress

Howdy! We’re about to begin the process to import all of your bBlog entries into WordPress. Before we get started, you need to edit this file (import-bblog.php) and change a few lines so we know where to find your bBlog database. To make this easy put the import file into the wp-admin directory. Look for the line that says:

define('BBLOG_DB', '');

and change it to

define('BBLOG_DB', 'my_database');

Change the rest of the lines at the top as described.

If you've done that and you’re all ready, let's go! Remember that the import process may take a minute or so if you have a large number of entries and comments. Think of all the rebuilding time you'll be saving once it's done. :)

The importer is smart enough not to import duplicates, so you can run this multiple times without worry if—for whatever reason—it doesn't finish.
