    Yes, very possible....

    1. register @ wordpress.com
    2. login to yourdomain.wordpress.com/wp-admin
    3. go to tools --> Export --> blogger (*follow the step)
    4. Create your wordpress.com at self hosted
    5. go to tools --> import --> browse (choose .wxr) and upload..

    Thats all

    Regards

    Unless the Blogspot templates are based entirely on PHP, you probably can't. And even if they are, you may find that the template won't work with any plugins that you may install. Wordpress has a ton of great themes, I'm sure you can find one that is equally as pleasing to you as your Blogspot template.
