Migrate your COREBlog to WordPress

I thought there might be some Zope folks out there who would find the following useful. Below is the code for my DTML method, wordpress_xml, that converts COREBlog posts to WordPress XML. If you want to export your entire blog to WordPress, make sure to change the visible days’ worth of posts in the settings to a large number. Just put this DTML method in the top level of your blog’s Zope contents folder:
