Blogger To Wordpress: 4 Simple Steps

Howto, Tips, Guide, Wordpress, Blogger 1 Comment »

As many of you know I was blogging about my journey to $10k a month on a Blogger blog for the first leg of this quest. I just switched over to my own Wordpress blog this week, and after some minor adjustments, that I like to call “hacking”, I feel settled in.

You’re probably asking “why switch from Blogger to Wordpress?”
Freedom: Blogger is an excellent, dynamic and free blog service that allows anyone to sign up and get posting within minutes. However is such an easy to use service there are drawbacks. One of these drawbacks is the lack of ability to customize. However with Wordpress, you can customize to your hearts content.
Ownership: At the end of the day Google owns Blogger and Blogger owns your blog. I wanted to have my own blog that I owned, and all the content associated with it is solely mine. Plus having your own domain name is nice, it’s so much more personal and you feel like you do own it.

Okay so now that I’ve convinced you to switch over to the wonderful world of Wordpress you probably want to know how! At first I was hesitant to switch, because I imagined the switch including 2 pots of coffee, 1 popped blood vessel and more f-bombs than the movie Scarface. Thankfully this wasn’t the case! After finding the Blogger to Wordpress plugin the whole site was transferred over in about 5 minutes. Here is how I did it:

Blogger to Wordpress

1. Download/ unzip/ upload plugin to my server
2. Activate plugin by clicking on the activate button in your new Wordpress backend
3. Enter your Blogger domain ie yourdomain.blogspot.com and select the options you would like to take advantage of
4. Click “Import”, make sure you leave this window open while you are importing and you do not surf away from this site. The script is working on pulling all your posts and comments over to your new blog and this can take a moment.

Voila you now have your very own Wordpress blog, loaded up with all your posts.
