  Hi,

  Is there a way I can import my blogs from Apple iWeb into WordPress?

  Thanks,

  Noel

  You can talk directly with staff by using the contact form at http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ , but as far as I know, there is no direct way to import and it would likely require everything to be copied and pasted manually. But do talk with staff. Perhaps they have some ideas to make things easier on you.

  Thanks, SacredPath! Will do that though I doubt there is an easy way to make the switch.

  I just did a “google” and it is possible to import iWeb blogs to a self-hosted wordpress site using an RSS import, so I think staff should be able to help you out with this.

  Well, it is $25 apparently. Still better than copy and paste.

  Looked at the app on the AppStore but there’s one hitch though – what I have on iWeb is a Blog2Book project i.e., one blog to a chapter and every post has a photograph! The app doesn’t import photos. But I can always upload the pics.

  I opened a ticket with support too. Let’s see what they say!
