    Here are the steps:

    1. Backup everything in your Wordpress site (Manage -> Backup) and save it on your computer. (If you haven't backed anything up before, you may need to activate the plugin in Wordpress.)
    2. Install Joomblog in Joomla! (1 com, 1 bot, and 2 mods)
    *** If you've been using JD-Wordpress in Joomla!, then skip to step 6. ***
    3. Install JD-Wordpress in Joomla!
    4. In phpMyAdmin, import the Wordpress backup (from step 1) into the database that Joomla! is using.
    5. Under Components -> JD-Wordpress, go to Manage -> Categories, and make sure they're in a category. If it says "Uncategorized" but is not linked to a category called Uncategorized, then it's not categorized. If this is the case, Manage -> Categories and make sure you have categories created. Then, Edit each post, select a category, and Save. There's probably a script that could be written for phpMyadmin, but I'm not that savvy.
    6. Under Components -> Joomblog, select Import, and click on Import Wordpress. *
    7. Once this is complete, look in Content By Section -> Wordpress_Joomblog and you should find your articles.
    8. Now is the fun time of placing the imported content in the right Joomla category and editing each one to clean up any mess the switch left behind.

    Hope this helps...
