Community Server 2.1 BlogML Converter

I announce new version of my Community Server BlogML Converter just some hours after announcing BlogML 2.0.

New version of my converter is a good improvement in previous one since BlogML is improved and I could implement all new features in my converter.  New converter has some bug fixes to help users import/export their content easier.

Community Server BlogML Converter was my test project in BlogML project to apply latest changes and see what will happen.

Fortunately previous version for Community Server 2.0 and BlogML 1.0 could be a popular tool for import blogs content to Community Server and I hope new version can get better than it.

There are two points to note about my converter here:

• Every blogger with at least one blog post in a specific blog must be set as blog owner otherwise you'll get errors.
• Since Community Server APIs didn't let me to assign posts to their original author via APIs, if you're importing a multi-author content to Community Server, all posts will be assigned to the user who is importing them.

I wrote this converter with Visual Basic to let all users modify it easily for their needs.

You can download my Community Server 2.1 BlogML Converter from my file gallery, Community Server official site file gallery or BlogML workspace.
