   I'm guessing the answer is "no" based on the searches I did tonight.

   My blog is only a month old, and 100 comments or so. I could probably do this manually with cut-n-paste - do I have to login as each user to do this?

   easy: replace 'name' with:
   '<?php the_ID() ?> '
or
'<?php the_title() ?>'

   that's what you want.

   it's not working here very well.
   
a href="javascript:HaloScan('<?php the_ID() ?>');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('<?php the_ID() ?>');</script>

   I don't follow.
   Replace what 'name'? Where is this code supposed to go? From my novice php eyes, I can't figure out what this blurb is supposed to do or when it's supposed to be run.

    OK I have got the haloscan import working fine. Currently its a mix of a perl script and a few sql statments. I will try to package it in a PHP page and then post a link here.

    Please try out the code and let me know if it works. I have tested it out on my side.

    Umm, is there a way to import haloscan comments, into wordpress, if I already have transfered over my entries?
    I have like 100+ that I tranfered over to wordpress, before I knew about being able to import the haloscan comments ... is it still possible to do?
    someone email me at submodalities at gmail dot com

    I've written a script that imports Haloscan comments (CAIF format) into Wordpress (assuming you also just imported a Blogger blog with one minor revision to the import process).

    If you're interested, check out my write up and code available here: importing haloscan comments into wordpress
