And, just for grins and giggles, Options also has one for MT as well: http://options.wordpress.com/2006/04/09/rss2mt-transformer-from-rss-to-movable-type-import-format/

Options has a post that explains exactly how to import Xanga: http://options.wordpress.com/2006/04/09/howto-import-into-wordpresscom-from-another-weblog-using-rss-feed/

If you searched far enough you'd find the XML method, which doesn't require an interstitial blog. Do a search for XML Import or RSS import. That's the method I recommend when all else fails.

Thanks for the relpy ella. I don't think you really read my post though. I was mentioning it would be really nice to have a xanga importer like there is for Blogger, MT, etc. : )

I did my research. I searched for "xanga"...that's what I was browsing for multiple hours. I wasn't finding much in the lines of a simple way to import posts though. All I found were very round about ways to upload them. And it seemed like it required a wordpress.org blog as a go-between, which requires a host site, which requires money, which I'm not willing to pay. So, I guess I will live without my xanga posts on wordpress and hope a simpler method is made available.

I didn't take the time to see if anyone else had posted on the topic of getting a xanga importer since I've been attempting to find a way to upload my posts from there in the forums for a couple hours now...I can only handle so much forum browsing. :)

Had you taken the time to simply enter xanga into the forum searchbox, you'd have found several threads:

I'm brand new here. I've been on xanga for 4 years and finally got fed up with their site management. I'd really like to transfer my posts to WP. I didn't take the time to see if anyone else had posted on the topic of getting a xanga importer since I've been attempting to find a way to upload my posts from there in the forums for a couple hours now...I can only handle so much forum browsing. :)

Anyway. It seems there's no direct way to upload xanga posts/comments/etc to WP.com blogs like there is for blogger, etc. It would be really awesome to have and it seems like many people are looking for the same feature.
