IMPORT.txt

You can import your actual blog to Bitakora preparing an XML file with this format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<posts>
 <post>
   <author>  </author>
   <title><![CDATA[   ]]></title>
   <date>    </date>
   <body><![CDATA[    ]]></body>
   <tags><![CDATA[    ]]></tags>
   <comments>
     <comment>
       <author><![CDATA[   ]]> </author>
       <date>    </date>
       <body><![CDATA[    ]]></body>
       <url><![CDATA[   ]]></url>
       <email><![CDATA[   ]]</email>
     </comment>
     <comment>
         ...
     </comment>
   </comments>
 </post>
 <post>
     ...
 </post>
</posts>

The content of the body tag should be in HTML (not structured-text, not reStructuredText), and enclosed in a CDATA section.

To identify diferent tags within <tags>, each tag must be separated by ;. Examples:

I know that it's not very smart to enclose everything in CDATA sections, bat it's the easiest way for avoiding navigators and parsers complaining about '&' and so on.

After preparing that file, you can upload it using 'prefs' tab of your blog admin site.
