And you can now try http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/  
with the new XWiki 2.0 final version :)
Note that I've applied what I suggested re the banner.

We need to know more about what you did. Also when you say blog do you  
mean blog post or a full-fledged blog system?

We have some converted but it's not perfect. You can try it and report  
issue though.
To activate it see:

Hehe.... We're building full wiki importer but it's not fully ready yet.
Right now you can write some REST script to take your twiki content  
and put is a xwiki page content and then xwiki can convert it or  
display it natively in twiki-syntax (but with limitations). Conversion  
is recommended.

Yes definitely, see the DevGuide (which will be updated for 2.0 in a  
few days):
