Hi Christopher.

Would it be possible to attach a copy of your MovableType export file?

Hi JLUECK - Can I email it to ou directly? I'd rather not post it directly on 
public 
site.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi, I just met a similar issue:
$ bin/movabletype2blogger.sh ~/Plocha/export.mt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/../src/movabletype2blogger/mt2b.py", line 319, in <module>
    translator.Translate(mt_file, sys.stdout)
  File "bin/../src/movabletype2blogger/mt2b.py", line 212, in Translate
    post_entry.title = atom.Title(text=self._Encode(value))
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'title'

this is because in the export.mt file each entry starts with TITLE, while the 
script
expects the very first record to be AUTHOR. This seems wrong as
http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/docs/mtimport states that "The order of the
metadata pieces is not important."

Ah.  Yes, thanks for the link.  I'll change up the structure of the 
movabletype2blogger translator to respect this 
rule.

I had a similar issue. I'm running the r89 converters. Is there a fix I can 
make to it?
