Moving from Wordpress to Blogger

We receive a few requests to move their wordpress blogs to blogger. The steps are quite simple and easy to follow.

Kindly follow instructions below,
  1. Export/Download content from WordPress.
  2. You'll get a file downloaded. Now goto -> https://wordpress-to-blogger-converter.appspot.com/
  3. Upload the file you downloaded from wordpress here by clicking "Browse" => "Convert"
  4. This will give you an XML file.
Now, in blogger,
  1. Go to Dashboard > Settings
  2. Scroll down to Manage blog section
  3. Click on Import content


  4. In the appearing popup window, please check reCaptcha and click on import.


  5. A file upload prompt will appear. Please choose your file and upload.
There you go. That should probably be it.

    That address for the converter no longer works. It looks like there's a version at https://wordpress-to-blogger-converter.appspot.com/

      Sorry for the late reply. For me, if I visit, the page is still opening without any issues. Could you please verify once again?

The problem was that the URL was not available for use in blogger.  Here on, before spending money on buying a domain, please ensure blogger allows it. Why isn't the custom domain available to buy but not available to use on Blogger? That'd be the first question every user would ask or think to ask. Unfortunately reason is un-disclosed by Blogger themselves.  So how do we know if a domain is available at Blogger or not?
