Blogging from Blogger to WordPress

I started my blog with Blogger free hosting. As you can see it has a “.blogspot.com” on it. I now wanted to use WordPress because it has many benefits than a Blogger blog can have. Like the plug-ins that you can install and the full control of your blog. Blogger and WordPress provide a friendly environment for bloggers. But most find blogging easy with Blogger. However, its limitations force bloggers to use WordPress.

I wanted to export my posts to WordPress. But I don’t want to lose a single post because maybe they are highly ranked in Google for key terms or for its search engine optimized permalinks. Or maybe I was just dreaming while writing this post. I know I am not there yet but maybe soon!

In exporting your posts from Blogger to WordPress, make sure to set your WordPress permalinks “exactly” the way that blogger has them or else you can lose all your indexed pages. This way you were able to export over all your files from blogger without losing one post.

Blogger format of blogging is easy and is user friendly but is quite tiring. Also, there are many limitations using Blogger and you just couldn’t do what you want to do. You are not in control of your blog. So if you can do blogging now with WordPress, do it now. You can also make websites and not just blog using WordPress. WordPress is easy to use just as Blogger.
