I used a little magic to get the old posts from mephisto to this new system as mephisto lacked an export feature.

1) Edit mephisto to give you all your post in one Atom document. Have a look in app/controller/feed/feed_controller.rb and change the limits of 15 to over the amount of posts you have.

2) WordPress doesn’t like Atom, so convert your to RSS 2.0. I used a cool little webserice for this. With this service we can output something to our computer with curl
  

curl http://atom2rss.semiologic.com/?atom=http%3A%2F%2Fmibly.com%2Ffeed%2F > old_posts.xml

3) Upload old_posts.xml to you smashing new wordpress blog.

Now this doesn’t import any comments which is a shame.
