Importing Wordpress to Blogger


At the New Media Breakfast on blogging in Glasgow last Friday I talked about the need to consider the transportation of your blog should you want to move it from one platform to another. I was under the impression you couldn't import a blog from Wordpress to Blogger and this was backed up by the information I checked on the attached screenshot taken from "Pulsed" blog which you will see was updated in June this year.


A young lady in the audience contested this fact and I agreed to check it out further and report back in the our blog. It appears both Pulsed and myself got it wrong, I found the following link to instructions on how to do this: Wordpress2blogger

Thank you to the young lady who pointed this out.  Also, my apologies, I didn't get a chance to catch her after the breakfast, perhaps she can post a comment here so that I can thank her properly for the advice.  I assume this is the App/process she meant, if not perhaps she will be kind enough to let us know if there are other ways to do this.

  1. I have trouble imagining wanting to move from WordPress to Blogger, but for those who do, it's nice that someone has provided a tool. The obvious move from WordPress.com is to self-hosted WordPress, and I REALLY can't imagine anyone wanting to go from self-hosted WordPress to Blogger.

    Thanks for the comment. Like you, I'm not sure that anyone would go from a self-hosted Wordpress blog to a hosted solution on Blogger; it hadn't even occurred to me that they would. I think this tool is maybe for people wanting to go from a hosted Wordpress blog to Blogger, perhaps the young lady can advise on this.

    Yes, it's a fairly simple process. Sallie is the real expert here, perhaps she can tell us just how simple it is.
