Moving from blogger to Wordpress, if you have already downloaded & installed the latest Wordpress version 2.0.2 in the root directory or where you want it, please move on to next para. Otherwise download latest Wordpress version 2.02 and see these official installation instructions.
Settings in Blogger
Click Formatting and change the Timestamp Format to be mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM (the first choice in the dropdown menu).
Click Archiving and set Archive Frequency to ‘monthly’
These settings are already set in Blogger by default.
Settings in Wordpress
Login into Wordpress. Go to Import. Click on Blogger - “Import posts and comments from a Blogger account�. Fill in your blogger username and password.
It will list all your blogger blogs as you see on the Blogger dashboard. Click on the blog you want to move to Wordpress. And the Import will start automatically. Time taken will depend on how large your blog is.
Remember, do not stop, reload or restart while the process is going on. It seems at times that the importing process is stuck, but it is continuing in the background. After all is done, it will tell you it is done and you can ‘Move on�…
If for some reason things get stuck, you can “reset the importer�.
View your new Wordpress blog manage and see all your posts and comments are imported.
Waiting for more…that is it. Your blog is imorted into Wordpress.
