While exporting several clients’ posts from Blogger recently (using Skeltoac’s script that also exports comments), I have encountered this error:
001: Broken pipes
For some reason, Blogger does not like the template code required by the script.
Here’s a workaround:
1. Choose one of the default templates
2. Insert the WordPress export code at the bottom of the template
3. Republish
4. Copy the files from your server to your computer
5. Edit each of the files, removing everything from <html> to </html>
6. Save and upload each of the files, then run the import script
If this doesn’t work for you, but you find something that does, please leave a comment.
