WordPress.com

To import your posts from a WordPress.com blog, run:

$ ruby -rubygems -e 'require "bunto-import";
    BuntoImport::Importers::WordpressDotCom.run({
      "source" => "wordpress.xml",
      "no_fetch_images" => false,
      "assets_folder" => "assets"
    })'

The source, no_fetch_images, and assets_folder fields are not required. Their default values are what you see above.
