  I understand that in order to have wordpress show your entries from Livejournal you have to import it as an .xml file. But HOW do you export the xml file? I don’t see any options in Livejournal that can do that so I’m wondering HOW you export it in the first place. :S

  This would be a question for LiveJournal support, i would think…

  Once you login over there, you’ll have the option to download each month of your LJ blog.

  Or at least that’s how I read their docs and other folk’s blog entries on the subject. Doesn’t really come out and say specificly how to do stuff like that.

  Read the bit about exporting from LJ. They point you to a windows tool that should help you. Appears to grab comments as well.
