Import entries via RSS?

Hi. I’ve searched the forum for an answer to this so hopefully I didn’t miss a previous post about it.

I have a blog on a free blogsome server that I want to move to TP. Unfortunately, TP doesn’t support blogsome as an import option and I don’t have access to the database settings for my free blogsome blog so I was wondering if there is any way to import posts (and comments if I’m reaaally lucky) into TP using the RSS feed?

Is there a plugin to do this or am I out of luck and resigned to having to cut and past my old entries?

I’m not a coder by any means so any advanced scripting or tech stuff will probably go straight over my head although I’m comfortable hacking the TP code if I have clear instructions…as a very last resort.

As an addition, I’ve downloaded each of my posts using ecto but the format they are exported in – which is below – is very basic:

Blog: The Knitting Ninja (http://knittingninja.blogsome.com/)

Title: xxx

Link: http://knittingninja.blogsome.com/2006/11/03/julia-knits/

Date: 11/3/2006 4:55:01 PM

Summary: xx

Categories: xx

Body:
<p>xx</p>

Is there any way to import this format?
