That’s great to hear, unteins! Sounds like it would be very beneficial to many folks, and I for one say thank you for your efforts.
As for my issue, I found out that the problem existed between keyboard and chair. ?? A good night’s sleep does wonders. For the record (and you’re all going to go “duh!” but I was really tired), don’t ask me how, but I had the file copy of the import-livejournal.php running in the browser instead of the live version on the site, where all the code had been installed, and was wondering why it wasn’t doing anything when I clicked “let’s go!” I know, I know — but I’m posting here, in case anyone else runs into the same issue. ??
