How to Move Your Blog From Blogger (Blogspot) to Wordpress ?

If you are using Blogger as your blogging platform but not get satisfied or finds Wordpress more interesting and user friendly or for any reason you want to leave blogger, and want to switch your blog from Blogger platform to Wordpress but hesitates in doing that thinking of its complexity or feared of loosing your posts. That’s why it takes a lot of time for bloggers like us to move from one platform to other. There are lot of reasons for moving from Blogger to Wordpress, Some basic and important reasons I have already posted in my previous article, kindly go through that once.
In this easy tutorial we will find the easiest way or we can say a step by step guide in importing your blogposts from Blogger to Wordpress with the help of importing tool which is already available with Wordpress.
 NOTE- I will be using Blogger to show you this method but if your blog is on some other platform such as Blogroll, Tumblr etc, don't worry the method remains same, just choose your blogging platform in step no 4. This will not delete your previous blog or blog posts but only imports them to your Wordpress blog.


Importing posts from Blogger to Wordpress- A step by step guide with Snapshots.
  
   (1)   Firstly Sign up with Wordpress and create a blog there.
   (2)   Go to “My Blogs” and select “Blog Admin”.
  

   
   (3)   Then Go to “Tools” and select “Import”.
  

   
   (4)   Select your blog platform as Blogger (If you are using some other platform, kindly select that).
  

   
   (5)   Click on “Authorize” button on the page on which you lands after choosing your platform. There are two methods of importing your posts and comments:-
(a)    By getting authorization from your previous platform.
(b)   By uploading your import file.
Here, in this tutorial we are using method no 5(a) which is by getting “Authorization” from previous platform as I have already written an article on

   
   (6)   Now login with your Blogger account using your Email and password.

  

   
   (7)   Click on “Grant access” by allowing Wordpress to access your Blogger account.

  

   
   (8)   Now Wordpress will revert to you with the available blogs in your Blogger account.

  

   
   (9)   Click on “Import” next to the blog whose posts you want to import. Leave it, as it will take sometime to complete importing.

   (10) After it completes importing, you can set "Authors".



   (11) It's done, Visit your Wordpress blog and Let us know if it worked well.

   NOTE- This method will import all your posts and comments from Blogger to Wordpress, but you have to do a little editing as this will not import your Pagebreak where "read more" button is placed.
