Import from Wordpress to Blogger

Just finished this import myself, as you can see by all of the extra posts!

A couple of hints:
1. Make sure you use Java JDK 1.5 (1.4 and 1.6 will not work!)
2. Make sure that you set the path to java 1.5 in your path in the shell, not just in the 'run.sh' file like the Blogsync Wiki says.
3. Make sure that you do not have any drafts -- they will not publish (and they will give you an error.)
4. Make sure that the tags on your posts (if you have any) do not contain any invalid symbols (like an ampersand).
5. The java interface does not give you any meaningful error messages. To figure out why things are broken, open Wireshark and watch the exchange.
