Importing from an RSS feed

If all else fails, or if WordPress doesn’t provide an import script that you
need for your current blog platform, you can import your blog data via the
RSS feed for the blog you want to import. With the RSS import method, you
can import posts only; you can’t use this method to import comments, track-
backs, categories, or users. WordPress.com currently doesn’t let you import
blog data via an RSS feed; this function works only with the self-hosted
WordPress.org platform.

Tthe steps to create the file you need to import via RSS. Then follow these steps:

1. On the Import page in the WordPress Dashboard, click the RSS link
and install the plugin to import from an RSS feed.
Click the Activate & Install link and the Import RSS page loads with instructions to import your RSS file, as shown in Figure 7-6.
2. Click the Browse button on the Import RSS page.
A window opens, listing the files on your computer.
3. Double-click the export file you saved earlier from your RSS feed.
4. Click the Upload File and Import button.
The import script does its magic and then reloads the page with a confirmation message that the process is complete.
