    Hmm...

    I'm not that familiar with Blogger, as I prefer to host my own stuff on my own server.

    However, I see that Blogger allows you to link your feeds to Twitter, and I know Joomla can handle feeds.

    You COULD investigate a "feed reader" for Joomla. OR, you could create your own module that reads these feeds.

    I created my own custom component that reads XML files to access movie trailers, thumbnails, etc., on a site I created, so I'm pretty sure you could do something similar with Blogger. ;)

    UPDATE: Go read the post at http://buzz.blogger.com. Of particular interest is the following:

    HI,

    had the same problem, use Feed Gator..
    go to blogger, export your site to xml. intalled feed gator in joomla, add the xml feed and import. might have to do it more than once if you have something set in the parameters that you did not want imported. otherwise it works.
    just wait for it to finish, if you leave the page early while importing, it will only import a percentage of all your posts.

    Joomla has the ability to read RSS. From blogspot you
    can input the url of the RSS feed into joomla and show
    them there.


    If your "blogger posts" have RSS output
    to them, hook them up to your joomla site in the same way.

    If all you want is a blog, you can change joomla into a blog.

    Wordpress has this feature also, but is more popular.

    You can't import blogger to Joomla because the latter is a CMS software. If you want to upgrade, you better import your blogspot site to Wordpress.

    Just use the blog tool with Joomla, its much easier. But if all
    you want is a blog, (sorry to repeat myself) choose Wordpress.

    I can see a new tool coming to Joomla ( importing blogspot to Joomla. )

    By "import", do you mean to actually migrate your blog content into Joomla (as in not just showing the posts, but putting them into the Joomla database)?

    You could go down the really unecceary, but off the cuff way.....

    Export everything from Blogger in XML, import it into Wordpress, then do the old Wordpress to Joomla import/export. There are plugins for it now.

    Hey, HighRankingSEO, the XML route is a cool idea. :)

    Taken one step further - export the XML (assuming the OP can do that for all his posts, I don't really know Blogger), and then write a PHP script that can take the XML and translate it into Joomla data. I've had to write this kind of XML parser before for some extensions before, and really it's not too shabby.
