I have a blog hosted on Community Server 2.1 (old version). I want to transfer it to WordPress (.com).

I have tried exporting it to the BlogML format, but it failed with an exception.

I saved a copy of the full RSS feed, by setting the # of posts to show to a huge number, save, then lower it back. I have all images and do not mind having to upload and rename them one by one.

There must be a way to read that RSS file and either directly import it into WordPress, or for a more complicated path, transform it with the proper XSLT into the BlogML (or other) format, to import it into WordPress?
