This import feature will not move your images! you have to do it manually! this is could be the hard part, the import feature will import your database records only, no files will be imported.

When I used the import feature I had to edit every post that had images, because my images were still linked to Blogger. .-= Rose´s last blog ..How to add a retweet button to your blogger blog-Tweetmeme =-.

Good tutorial but it doesn't really explain how you don't lose your pagerank. I assume that there most be some way that you can do a 301 redirect of all the pages on the old blogger blog to the new wordpress blog, also I think that the URL structures would have to be the same so the all links would go to the new site. .-= Matt´s last blog ..Vegetarian Singles vs. BBQ Singles =-.

Thank you for this post. I also consult about it on digital point forum. My blog is on blogspot, but if I change my blog to wordpress, then it is more chance that I will loss my PR and all rank on my blog. So I am not interested to change my domain. .-= chandan´s last blog ..Ultimate link building tips that should be follow [Digg] =-.

Tweeted this as I know a few bloggers who are planning to move to a WordPress self-hosted system. Hope this post can come in handy to them at the right time .-= Michael Aulia´s last blog ..Having a YouTube Slow Loading problem? =-.

Actually many people do it that way. If the blogger blog has excellent search engine traffic, you don’t lose those visitors.

However we’re not talking about 1000 posts.

Trying this way is not going to cost you anything, as you original blog may still exists so you will not lose your data! believe me, no one want to do this by copy/past way, imagine a blog with 1000 post?!

Please be careful using the import feature, although I never had to myself, I have heard some real bad tales of it just not working properly. If I may offer an alternative…

Copy/paste each and every post over by hand, while leaving a snippet on the blogger blog. That snippet along with a line reading, “for the full article please visit…..”and leave the link to your new blog.

Depending 0n the amount of posts, this could take a while, but you can see the benefits; just another thought.
