How to import a LiveJournal

[vastneonwolf]

Using ljArchive I have backed up my LiveJournal and exported an XML file, what I want to do is write a plugin that will read the XML and import it into s9y.
If it can import the comments as s9y comments that would be great.

Any ideas on how to start this would be great.

I suggest to have a look at the include/admin/importers/ directory and see how our existing importers do that stuff.

The voodoopad one might be the one nearest to what you want. Prepare yourself for some heavy XML parsing.

Best regards,
