How to Import Wordpress blogs to Blogger?

For many years bloggers on other platforms were frustated by the inability to import their blogs to Blogger. One had to copy and paste each post individually from a non-Blogger blog to a Blogger blog. Those days are over now since Blogger has introduced import-export facility available at the moment only through Blogger-in-Draft.

You can import posts and comments from any blogging platform which gives you ability to export your blog as an XML file. This is how to do it from Wordpress to Blogger........

EXPORT FROM WORDPRESS

Login to your Wordpress blog (Site Admin): http://MYBLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
Click the 'Manage' link at the top.
Click the 'Export' subtab of the Manage tab.
You can choose to export posts from a single author or from all authors.
Click 'Download Export File'.
Click Save in the popup window.
Choose a location on your disk and click Save in the explorer window.
An XML file is saved on your disk. Remember the location where it is saved.

IMPORT TO BLOGGER

Login at Blogger in Draft : http://draft.blogger.com.
Click 'Create a Blog' link on Dashboard.
Under Advanced Options, click the Import Blog Tool link.
Click 'Browse' button.
Explorer window will open.

IMPORT TO EXISTING BLOG

Login at Blogger in Draft as before.
