Thanks for this, at some point I’ll make the move, so it’s good to have a resource to be able to look at.

Jordan i was refering to the RSS-Import from the wordpress, it’s suposed to be a good importer of blogger blogs. I don’t know if your are talking about this plugin (blogger -> Wordpress), but i leave you the link:

I’m not sure which import you’re referring to. I found a plugin for an RSS-based import, but it’s not currently included with WordPress (though I think it will be soon). I haven’t tried the standard RSS import-export function included with WordPress.

If you’re having trouble with special characters in your RSS, it might be helpful to recode them into HTML (ie instead of typing just Ã©, é).

jordan, can’t you use only the rss import?

Thanks, Jonix. I’m not sure how well the plugin I used will work with non standard English characters; however, I think that it was created by a speaker of another language. I’m not sure, and the site it down right now so I can’t check.

Great guide this one. It’s not a very easy task to import from blogger to wordpress, even if they say that the rss impor-export will do the trick, that’s not right. One of the problems it’s the charset, worst if it is not an english written blog.

Thanks for letting me know my comments were broken, Mark. I’ve fixed them now (I hope).

And I was all sad because not even my mother was commenting. Silly.

Yes, a big thanks to Andy as well. I tried to comment on your blog Jordan but it doesn’t seem to work so I just posted here.

I would definitely love to see what plugins that Andy suggests also…Andy?

Jordan McCollum — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 21:12:11 +0000

You’re welcome, but I think we should both be thanking Andy for linking to me.

I should also recommend Andy’s list of WP plugins which I used in setting up my blog.

Thanks sooooo much for this info Jordan. We have been wanting an easy way to move our company blog off of blogger and to our domain. Now we can do this much easier than I ever anticipated!
