It's been a long time coming but I have now moved into my new WordPress blog.
All of the old posts have not been completely moved over but, I did manage to find something that helped ease the transition from Serendipity to WordPress.
I would like to use this post to thank Aaron Brazell for his excellent Serendipity to WordPress import plugin. Though it was not perfect it helped me save a lot of time.
I had almost 300 posts in my old Serendipity blog and with the use of his plugin I was able to move the bulk of them (and comments) over to the new blog.
There is one thing that does need to be addressed in this plugin and that is the fact that Serendipity allows a user to store an entry in two sections. This plugin does not pull in the extended text, a feature I used often.
Just give me a few days and I should have everything up to snuff... Then I just have to write some redirects...

How did you use the plugin? It doesn’t work for me at all. I am hosting both at netsol; did you use it locally or is there a way to use in the posting envt? thanks
I used the plugin exactly as laid out on the site. The only problem I had was the extended text not carrying over.
I also had to create a special PHP based redirect file because of the way Serendipty passed URLs.
