.Text to DasBlog Converter

Some days ago I was "Blog-talking" with Steve Eichert about Blog's conversion. He was searching for a tool to move his posts from a .Text blog to a DasBlog one but noone seems to know if some tools to perform this task are available.

After a web search (not too simple) yesterday evening I've discovered the tool we was talking about... in these days Aaron Junod has developed a .Text to DasBlog Conversion Tool.

It's on an early beta stage and it permits to migrate only posts from .Text to DasBlog, but it's a good start. You can grab the source code from HERE.

Great work Aaron!

Thanks for the feedback and link

I am also working on a new version already. I will be adding comment and category functionality, and hope to release a new beta with source later this week. Check back if those are features you are looking for.

Only a little request for you Aaron... actually the tool requires that you have direct access to the .Text database server, and in most cases users don't have it (many users are not administrators of the blog engine). Why not use the .Text webservice to extract posts and not the connection string?
