Hi Richard,
Thank you for the response. John Papa and Scott Forsyth mentioned the module, I was able to export my existing blog (including comments) and import into the Orchard instance. I can't believe how easy the Orchard project has come together. It's meeting 2 items I've wanted to do literally for years. 1) have a content system that is easy to use 2) integrate my external blog to a single domain. It's interesting integrating files on disk with the Orchard 'content system'. It's still a work in progress although the results look promising. Are there additional themes you know of that are paid for?

Hi, There are two ways to import blog content into Orchard. I used Nick's Blog ML module and this is great if you can get BlogML from your current blog. It also gets all the comments. http://www.orchardproject.net/gallery/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.NGM.BlogML You can also use the Orchard command line interface to get content from an RSS feed like this: blog import /Slug:<slug> /FeedUrl:<feed url> /Owner:<username> Import all items from <feed url> into the blog at the specified <slug> I don't think that gets the comments though, so you're best of using the BlogML module if you can.
