I'm trying to export my Joomla! RSBlog to WordPress; has anyone done this before?
RSBlog is a blogging plugin for Joomla! so the typical Joomla migration does not work in this instance.
the table structure of the RSBLOG_Posts table is similar to that of the jos_content table; yet i'm not sure if it'd import properly.
any suggestions, help or guidance would be appreciated. I'm sure I'm not the only whose done this or attempted to; it's just the SEO for RSblog is so heavy that I can't find articles on it except for moving FROM wordpress to RS....
Don't bump your posts (Among other things, they set off the spam filter).
Does RSBlog have an export feature?
If not, you may have to use an HTML or RSS importer.

Ah, that makes sense; my apologies.
it does not have an export feature sadly; it only has an import. I believe the developers made it so you're "stuck" with their solution unless you reverse engineer a way to take care of the exporting.
I'm dreading the fact that i may have to write my own custom SQL query to accomplish the import /sadface
What will an HTML or RSS importer accomplish; I tried the one provided with wordpress for the RSS import and it only grabbed 5/75 posts.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/import-html-pages/
It's supposed to be able to grab a directory of files, so I wuold say to save the 75 posts as html pages on my desktop and run that.
Or, if it's only 75, copy 'em by hand. 75 is a pain, but it's an hour or two only.

Very True; I'll see what will be the least time-consuming of my options and work that out.
That RS company is a Joomla sister company; so of course they wouldn't offer any information on how to move away from their system...
Thanks again for your help!
That's just ... Okay that's bad business. ALWAYS give your customers/clients/users a way out. Heck, Google does it!

Exactly; hence why I used WordPress over Joomla! :)
