Serendipity (S9Y) importer for WordPress

Update 2: Jon reports that he’s improved on Carsten’s 1.3 version, and has released Version 1.4!

Update: Carsten Dobschat has continued the fine tradition and improved the importer further, adding support for extended posts, and tags.  Grab S9Y importer version 1.3 over at his site.

In the process of merging this site from Serendipity over to WordPress, I came across an importer which lets me migrate the data across. Unfortunately it was a bit buggy, not properly assigning categories and timing out when processing the post data.

I made some improvements, and here’s the new version, if anyone else finds it useful:

    Sounds nice :) Migrating from S9Y to WP has been on my todo-list for quite some time. Hopefully, I’ll get around to do that soon. :)

    Been using your updated Serendity importer and I worked really well for my almost 200 posts and about the same number of comments. Thanks for the update mate… I would have been hell doing this by myself.
