Recently I was thinking about cutting my VPS resources. So I thought about moving some leisure blogs to blogger, the free blogging platform that does all maintenance for me So here are some steps to work around the exporting and importing tasks.

Step 1

Prepare everything:

• WordPress admin panel
• WordPress 2 Blogger XML converter
• Blogger.com account/blog

Step 2

Exporting WordPress posts. Due to the limited size WordPress2Blogger converter can do (1MB), if you are moving a WordPress blogs with few years of entries, or maybe more than 230 posts, you need to export them in batches, to make sure the file size is less than 1MB.

Step 3

Converting WordPress XML to Blogger XML. Just go to WordPress2Blogger.appspot.com and convert the file(s).

Step 4

Importing to Blogger.com.

That’s all!

Note: There might have some trouble with the converter, make sure the XML you exported from WordPress doesn’t have some weird looking type in there. Well, you can always check it when the converter comes out with error message, check the XML if you see error message.
