How to move a Wordpress Blog to Blogger

“And all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again.” – Mother Goose

I just completed moving my food blog from Wordpress platform to Blogger (a.k.a. Blogspot) over the weekend. The reason? Nothing really mind boggling, I just got fed off with all the functionality of Wordpress courtesy of it’s native functions and the thousands of available plugins. There are just so many things you could to with your blog when you’re running it under Wordpress. The possibilities are just tremendously infinitie, there are so many things you could do to the point that your blog starts losing it’s purpose – blogging. HAHAHA!

Really, I got tired of trying everything so I decided to make things simple so I moved it to Blogger. The moving process is actually such a breeze now – you could just export your Wordpress contents using the Wordress Export Tool and convert it to Blogger complatible XML file using the tool from this page. The instructions are already there so I’ll give myself the comfort of not having to re-write the whole tutorial article.

Next, when you create your Blogger blog, just click the link and follow the instructions to import your previously converted XML file.

And if you want to place Adsense or other third-party ads without using the built it Blogger monetization function, you could follow the tool and steps described on this page.

I have followed those instructions carefully, pointed the domain to the Blogger blog and there – Hungry Husband is now running under the Blogger platform. Unfortunately, during the Wordpress Export process, I forgot to delete all comments marked as spam so they were all carried out when I imported the entries. Now I don’t even know how to remove unwanted comments in Blogger. HAHAHA!

If you have any idea, please put them in the comment section below. Thanks!

Now, in case you’re wondering about the watermark in the photo above, I just recently registered a new domain and created another blog in Blogger. Visit the Blogger’s Notebook to see what kind of spammy stuff I’m writing there. LOL

P.S.

Wordpress and Blogger URL formats are so much differene and Blogger don’t have a custom 404 page so all the broken links will most probably be “gone to waste.”
