Just a note on this problem:
When you export your blog entries from godaddy’s service you can do a quick find and replace in your favorite text editor to make importing the entries into WordPress go smoothly.
Here is a breakdown of the steps to getting all of your content imported smoothly:
Step 1: Export your content from Godaddy’s Quick Blogcast – make sure to check the boxes for entries, comments, etc. Download this file to a convenient location.
Step 2: Open the file in a text editor that has a Find and Replace function. Use this to find “STATUS: Published” and replace it with “STATUS: Publish”.
Step 3: Import into WordPress using the Movable Type / Typepad setting.
Step 4: Enjoy your new, superior blogging platform.
