    Can you convert your blogger blog to a wordpress blog? Just wondering. I have a few blogger blogs out there that I would like to switch over to wordpress without having to copy and paste everything. I find wordpress works much better for my needs.

    Search Google for Blogger to Wordpress and there are a lot of step by step tutorials. If you find them difficult to follow, hire someone. I can help too for 1 blog.

    The best way you can do is find export tool on blogger and then import it on Wordpress with menu Tools -> Import -> Choose "Blogger" platform. :)

    Just to share my experience, I wasn't able to use import option, but I was able to import from blogger to wordpress.com and then selfhosted WP in xml format. Worked for me.

    Yes, there are scripts. But there's no simple conversion tool inside Blogger because Google hates Wordpress, fact.

    Yes, but there IS a simple import tool in the Wordpress Dashboard. And Google hates Wordpress? Really? Can't tell by the amount of Google, Google Checkout, Google Maps, Google Sitemap, and other Google plug ins created for Wordpress. Not to mention the SEO love.
