  Haloscan has recently been overhauled by JS-Kit, which synchronizes with (ie, sucks the blood of) Blogger comments. I want to transfer my whole blog from Blogger to WordPress – plus the Haloscan comments, which I have in a xml file. Can these comments be imported into the WordPress platform?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Tools –> Import –> Blogger

  If blogger has kept its own comments then they can be imported.

  Thank you, dreamsburnred; but I’ve never had comments in Blogger. My blog is in Blogger, but the comments were in Haloscan. Now Haloscan is no more, so I’m hoping to find a better place to put them than Blogger or JS-Kit.

  Hey I’m in the same boat. Any luck?

  I just got my content in and trying the method suggested by someone I found on google.

  Hit me up at twitter @htsh if you figure this out.

  Importing Haloscan comments into WordPress (v2.3 and up) from Blogger

  So far its working well for me — should be done in about an hour.
