    Hi,
    I joined DP forum recently and I don't know whether this question was already placed on this forum or not. Well, my question is regarding moving from one blogging platform to another. I am running a blog on blogspot (blogger.com) and want to move to wordpress. Currently my blog's pagerank is 4. And i want to know that if i move to wordpress will there be any effect on pagerank as well as traffic to my blog ?

    Can anyone suggest me the way to move to wordpress so that i can move all my post safely to wordpress ?

    I'm thinking about moving to wordpress also. The only thing I'm wondering is if I can put all my current blogspot content on wordpress with adsense and all.

    I think the key is not to change the overall navigation structure and page names at all but am not certain. Hopefully others will give you more guidance.

    if you own your domain name then the pagerank will not be effected. If you are using the free versions then yes you will lose that domain name of mysite.blogger.com.

    Moving the database is quite simple and wordpress has an import feature that will upload from a blogger file.

    I've just noticed that too lately, my wordpress site is performing better now than my old blogspot site.

    There should be an "import" function in Wordpress. Btw, I am going to move my Blogger blog to Wordpress as well.
