I just sent a mail to Tumblr support yesterday asking if there was a way to do this without having to export all my Blogger content and write a custom loader script against the API. Of course, they said they don't have such a tool.

I love you both. Srsly.

A couple suggestions for importing:

1) I would recommend creating a scratch account to test the import with. You can always nuke that account and retry the import process.

2) You will want to include more fields than the sample does. Definitely date. Maybe things like tags; though their tag support for reading is pretty limited at present.

Good idea. It imports tags/labels. But perhaps I'll add tagging everything that was imported w/ something new.

FWIW: I've also recently ported to Tumblr. The Python code I cooked up for the import grew into:

Cool. Yours looks more like something with long-term developer value. Mine was just a quick tool designed to be used once by people who don't want to code.
