How To Move Your Posts from WordPress To Blogger

I’m sure you have a good reason for wanting to transfer your blog from WordPress to Blogger so i won’t try and talk you out of it. The major problem you need to find a solution for is the different file types.

When you export your content from WordPress it produces an WXR file format which Blogger cannot import as it uses the XML file format.

Solution: Convert your WordPress WXR file into a Blogger XML format and your import will be a walk in the park.

You can move from either a free hosted WordPress.com blog or a self hosted WordPress.org powered site to Blogger. The 3 step process involves:

1. Exporting your content in a WXR file
2. Converting your WXR file to XML format
3. Importing your XML file to Blogger

WordPress bloggers follow these steps:
