Google Blog Converters 1.0 Released

Friday, January 9, 2009 at 4:12 PM



Blog authors around the world, Google would like to remind you that it's your blog, your data. Now that Blogger allows users the ability to export all contents of their blog, the Data Liberation team would like to announce the Google Blog Converters project. This new Open Source project provides the ability to easily move blog posts and comments from service to service. This initial release provides Python libraries and runnable scripts that convert between the export formats of Blogger, LiveJournal, MovableType, and WordPress.

In addition, the source code includes templates for hosting these conversions on Google App Engine. Future additions to the project will include support for BlogML and synchronization tools between various services that do not provide a import/export feature but do provide APIs for accessing and modifying blog contents.

We're excited to provide this level of control for your personal blog data. Contributions to the project are always welcomed and encouraged, so check out our source code (download, 2.7 MB zipped) and let us know what you think. We look forward to your feedback in our discussion group.

Japan GT Roadshow @ BTS

Japan GT 2006 is on the way, and there's a couple roadshow going on around the whole nation for some time. Now it's the final roadshow, which is located at TimeSquare. I went there with Vyruz and his newly bought D70s to test shoot. He lend me the D70 (office unit), and we just took our time to shoot on various subjects in the roadshow. Was a short shooting experience, but I tried out some compositions and digital imaging works on the pictures. =)
