Export your blog from Weebly to Wordpress

1) download your RSS blog as .xml - if you don't know how to do this, just use the save as function in your browser and name the file export.xml
2) open the file up in notepad and remove the following from the file(use find and replace!)

]]>
and then save your file
3) Open Wordpress and install the RSS importer plugin
4) Open the RSS importer plugin and upload your modified export.xml file (you should find this under tools -> import --> RSS)
5) You will now find that your blog posts have been transferred from Weebly to Wordpress

Unfortunately this process does not include your categories/tags or pictures. To rectify this you'll have to manually edit the posts. However we couldn't find any resource on the web explaining to do this, so hopefully this will be of use to some people.
