Thanks, JEFF! Very useful!
A few weeks ago, ActiveRain released a new feature that allowed members to export an archive of their individual blog posts. In the announcement, Brad said, "It's open nature will allow for the development of third-party import tools."
So, I sent the link to my partner, Steve Zehngut, and we put "create a Wordpress Plugin to import ActiveRain posts" on our to do list. Today we tested it and are ready to release it into the wild. You should be aware that the ActiveRain export does not include categories, tags or comments. So, our plugin imports the posts and gives them a category of "Active Rain" in your Wordpress blog. This will make them easy to find. If you're importing your posts into an existing blog, I would import them as draft. The video below will illustrate.
You can download the ActiveRain Importer here.
Let us know if you have any problems with it.

Now what would be useful is a plug-in that would permit automated import from WP to ActiveRain.
I use a variety of blog editors that work seamlessly with blogger or Word Press blogs - but none work directly to Active Rain. I usually convert to html and paste into AR. (which always reminds me that there is no connection between AR's wysiwyg editor window and it's html code window.)
Ted, If you install a "syndication/scraper" plugin such as feedwordpress (http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/ ) you can set it up to "eat" your Active Rain RSS feed & your AR posts will always automatically appear on the wordpress blog (http://www.queenofkludge.com is running it)
But no, I don't know of any thing that will work in the opposite direction .... You'd just have to decide that AR will be the first place you post. :-)
That is certainly one possibility <smiles>
Thanks Cheryl for all you do.
