 * Is there a script out there that would allow me to import entries made in ExpressionEngine(
   ellislab.com) to WordPress? If so I’d really like some info on it.

 * Have you tried the default RSS Import option?
 * More at the [Importing_Content](http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content)
   page.

 * I have not. I’ll give that a shot. Frankly I didn’t even realize it existed.
 * I manually created my own RSS templates and that’s a really good idea. Thanks
   for the suggestions. I’ll follow up with the results.

 * EDIT:
 * Well, I did find that wordpress can import a straight XML file that was output
   by RSS and it imports the posts just fine.
 * It’s just going to take a very long time. because the blog i’m importing has 
   been running for 4 years and has 2000+ entries.
 * Is this the only way?

 * Might be the only free way.

 * Well I’ve figured this out but it’s not pretty.
 * What I did was install one of the blogs that WP imports from. exported an rss,
   imported it to make sure it brought over the comments and username.
 * Then built my own rss page for expression engine structured the same way so WP
   could do it.
 * I had to do 400 posts at a time or the browser would simply time out, but it 
   did work.

 * Will this help or is it too late? I just googled for “convert expression engine
   to wordpress” and this was the third hit. It’s about a year old but should still
   be relevant. 🙂
