Writing a blog import?

[DanaSoft]

I have a custom blog application I built off of PhotoPost codebase (http://www.extremefitness.com/blog); I'd like to write an importer for vBBlog so that I could potentially convert over to this system. If I were to use the vBJournal importer as a "guide", could you tell me the basics of how the importer is laid out so I could modify it according to my setup?

I would use the vBloagtin system as a template and go though 000.php for all the "get data" functions then though the 00X.php functions to see where the fields are mapped to the vBBlog ones.

Thanks, I'll try that one. I use the vB user database, just have a table for blogs and comments; hoping it won't be too much effort.

Thanks, got everything working with some tweaking - imported my categories, comments and blogs.
