Migrate from Wordpress to Drupal

Right now I'm importing a large-ish site from Wordpress into Drupal 6.x. I've hunted around for a script but it looks like nothing much for Drupal 6.

There are two ways to tackle this task. You could write an import script in SQL or you could query the old site and post the data to your node edit forms via XML or something. I have done it both ways from different sources.

Writing a SQL script like this one is great for large imports but requires a lot of testing and careful planning and a good understanding of the Drupal Engine. The second method is safer because all your content is entered the same way a regular user would so it shouldn't get corrupted in the way through. This also gives you a chance to review your content should it need a few adjustments.

If you were confident in one of these scripts below you could always import into a previous version then upgrade using the Drupal upgrade path.
