    I'm not sure how you would do it since you can't use a 301 redirection. If Anyone have suggestions that would be interesting.

    In your example it looks like you have two sites, one is .net and the other is .org. If you keep both alive I think that would make things more difficult. Backup the blogger database and either import or restore on a new server that has Wordpress installed. If you kept the website the same, and edited DNS to move to a different nameserver, then you can either setup your own 301 redirect using the exact same URL paths, or simply restore the exact site on the new server. The user won't know you moved from blogger to WP.

    But I don't know for sure if I understand your original question. Can you elaborate more about what you are trying to do?

    The only way to keep your traffic is manually creating hundreds or redirects ... by the way if I remember correctly there is some script, just can not imagine the name right now.
