[wp-hackers] Importing custom format into WordPress

[Denis de Bernardy]

one thing you can always do is use a feed aggregator on your wordpress
install, e.g. feedwordpress. you then set up the rss feed to display 1,000
posts (or more, as relevant) and gobble it all up at once. slow, CPU hogger,
but it works.
