I have an XML file exported from a dead blogging platform (Tucows Blogware) that I want to import into a wordpress blog.

I'm looking for a way to convert it to either Wordpress XML or CSV so that all the key fields (author,post date, content title etc) are preserved.

Can any of you knowledgeable folk suggest a program or an approach that I could use?   I have really no idea where to start...

I'm not a coder though I can probably hack someone else's stuff to fit my needs if any one has a sample of something similar...

any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I use dropbox to sync files between PCs.  I want to run FARR in portable mode within my dropbox so my aliases and search history etc will sync between PCs

This seems OK if I work on one pc and log off before logging on to another.  But if I have sessions on two PCs at the same time I get multiple copies of the ini files labeled as 'conflict' by dropbox. 

ie - searchhistory.ini is modified on PC1, Dropbox tries to copy the file to PC2 and fails - because of locking or timestamp differences.

I can live with that - but now I'm getting failure messages when I try to open certain documents: "quickdoclauncher.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I'm guessing this is connected as it's only started since I moved FARR into my dropbox.

So my questions:

 1 - is there a way I can relocate the searchhistory and launchhistory files (so they're outside the dropbox) but leave the Alias definitions where they are (so they still get synched)?

 2 - What should I do about the quickdoclauncher errors?  I don't want to wipe everything and start again as I've spent some time setting up aliases etc.

Thanks!

Using Google search options sidebar you can limit results to a certain time range.

Default options are:  Any time, Latest, Past 24 hours, Past week, Past year, Specific date range,

The one that I want to use all the time is "Past Month" - but it's not there.

But if you manually edit the URL and replace one character Google returns links for the past month - so the search parameters are already coded - just need to request the correct URL

Examples
http://www.google.com/search?q=codingsnacks&hl=en&safe=off&tbo=1&tbs=qdr:d&ei=.....    Past 24 hrs:
http://www.google.com/search?q=codingsnacks&hl=en&safe=off&tbo=1&tbs=qdr:w&ei=....    Past week:
http://www.google.com/search?q=codingsnacks&hl=en&safe=off&tbo=1&tbs=qdr:y&ei=....    Past Year:



Note the only change is the character before the last  '&'  

So I changed the "y" to a "m" and google returns the links for the past month, and adds "> Past month" to the sidebar.

http://www.google.com/search?q=codingsnacks&hl=en&safe=off&tbo=1&tbs=qdr:m&ei=....    Past month:



It seems to me that it should be quite possible to make a greasemonkey (or similar) user script to add a link to "Past Month" in the sidebar, and use it to generate the same URL as the others.

Any takers? or suggestions as to how else I can get a 1 click "Past month" search?

Thanks
