Hi Bas I mentioned lot3blog in my mail but I do not recommend using it because you're losing the flexibility to configure everything. It's a double-edged sword and I decided to take the time to adapt T3BLOG configuration. In addition there's no trouble with compatibility after a T3BLOG update.
Import: There's no import possibility given but it's quite simple to write a little script if you can code with PHP. Just study the tables of T3BLOG. A post is stored in tx_t3blog_post, the category relation is tx_t3blog_post_cat_mm and the content of a blogpost is stored in tt_content. So you basically need to: - Add a row into tx_t3blog_post containing the title and some configuration (comments allowed/denied i.e.) - Add a tt_content record for the bodytext field of each tt_news item and refer to the corresponding post (fields irre_parentid/irre_parenttable). - Add a row to the category relation if you're using categories. That's not very complex to do.

Thanks for your replay Lorenz. What the templating is concerned, there seems to be an extension (lot3blog ) with which you can make T3BLOG templates other than with TS: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/lot3blog/current/ Maybe this is good improvement for T3BLOG. Another problem I have is that I want to import tt_news records into t3blog (if that extension will be my choice), it seems this is not possible is it? I want this because I want my news section on my website being turned into a weblog.
