I&rsquo;m sure that some of you have experienced the frustration of not being able to import this xml file due to size upload constraints on your host providers&hellip; One of my close friends who provides mostly support for WordPress gave me the idea a while back and that is how the script came about. Little did I know that <a href="http://snarfed.org/pyblosxom2wxr">other</a> <a href="http://blog.ivandemarino.me/2010/10/12/From-Wordpress-to-Bloggart">people</a> have find it useful too, specially for migrating <strong>away</strong> from WordPress! As a matter of fact, I too used it when I moved to <strong>Tumblr</strong>, but that another story.</p>
