I *am* the technical sort and I find the quality and maintainability of s9y to be quite good. The biggest shortcoming is that it doesn't have the ability to integrate with memcached... of course even drupal doesnt do this (unless you run pressflow of course).

This requires Wordpress to be installed on the same host (or you'll have to export the database through phpMyAdmin and then import it on the same server as Wordpress is running from).

I have been struggling with this for two weeks now, off/on. Not being a developer nor willing to pay 1000s to deal with php, I need to move.

Was it the raw rss feed on the export link or did you do a database dump using your PHP Admin tool? I too have been unhappy with Serendipity lately. While it may seem user friendly at first- the ability to change themes, export large files and keep the thing updated to the latest version is a pain unless you are some sort of php master. Which I'm not. I can design webpages like a champ, but serendipity and cludgy with this. Anyway, I am curious what sort of file you used to import. (I have well over 500 posts, some with extended entries.) How did you export your Serendipity blog for this?
