    I have site in Drupal 5. Now I want to create new site in Drupal 7 and import articles from old site. How can I do it?
    All I want from old site are articles and users. I don't need comments, modules, design etc..
    Is there some way to import articles from Drupal 5 to my new Drupal 7 site so that URL's bee the same like on D5.
    I was trying migrate and feeds modules but without success.
    If I can't do it, where can I looking for paid help?

    Simply upgrade your Drupal site from Drupal 5 to Drupal 7.
    But before upgrade make sure that all the modules which your current website is using have drupal 7 version released.

    Yes, you can directly import all your articles into new drupal 7 site. May it will take some time and that depends on the amount of data.

    If the upgrade fails fro any reason, you can try to export/import them via CSV or RSS.
    It's more work but we once had some upgrade issues with an installation with a special combination of plugins for .. don't know anymore which reason and we exported everything which worked fine then.

    This will explain the whole upgrade process - http://drupal.org/upgrade/ . It is suggested that you migrate from 5 to 6 first and then from 6 to 7.
    If you are only interested in getting the content (not users or other settings) then you could also crete a fresh Drupal 7 site and use the feeds module to import the content from old site.
