 * I have just imported all my livejournal posts and none of the html code is being
   processed, and i’m not sure if i’m doing something wrong or if it is because 
   WP doesnt process it, or what is going on. any idea’s?

 * Well I do not know what you mean by processed. By default WP will strip out all
   html and other code in posts. There is no need for it, it prevents validation
   errors, and it prevents the uploading of malicious code.

 * well here is my blog….
    [http://www.goatinatree.com/blog](http://www.goatinatree.com/blog)
   and as you can see the links to images or links to other sites are all broken.
   is there a way to convert all the old stuff over to working links, and how do
   i post pictures in my blog?

 * Well you were talking about importing. WordPress will accept a limited range 
   of tags which are above the posting text box. That should cover your needs for
   most things including images, links and a bunch of stuff.. If you want to do 
   anything fancy like inputting php code you need to disable the parser.

 * Is the parser run when the data is read in, or when the data is read out? It 
   seems sensible that one might allow the parser to pass along raw HTML if I were
   to ram it down the import tubes …
    I’m trying to import some really clean HTML
   that I’ve parsed into RSS at [http://dannyman.toldme.com/blog/migrate-all.rdf](http://dannyman.toldme.com/blog/migrate-all.rdf)…
   I’ve pulled out the bits of the import-rss module that try to escape up my HTML
   code, but WP does strange things to, for example, my a tags. Perhaps I’ll simply
   try converting my A tags into WP markup?

 * Ah. Nothing fancier than stripping newlines from the HTML. 🙂

 * Look at what is in the database itself to see if your posts have the HTML content
   you expect. I found that the WP processing done for export to the blog can have
   unfortunate side-effects. My trials were documented in this thread:
