Importing your blog posts gives you a few options. First, you need to make sure the data you want to import is in one of the accepted formats. Here is some information about supported formats.

• BlogML is an open standard for blog content supported by Community Server, DasBlog, Subtext, SingleUserBlog, Windows Live Space, WordPress, and others.
• WordPress XML (WXR) is an extended RSS format for the WordPress system.
• RSS is a common standard supported by most every blogging system. However, RSS feeds generally only contain a group of the most recent posts contained on a blog, so it may be impossible to import all of your blog's posts using its RSS feed. Also, RSS feeds do not always contain the comments associated with a post. Therefore, RSS should be a last resort for importing blog content.
