I am working on for a client who wants their Blogger website added to a sub-directory on their current Umbraco Website, we descided to convert the Blogger site to a WordPress site.

WordPress has a tool which converts a Blogger site to WordPress however I could not get the Blogger Site to authorise my account. It seemed it did not like the .org of the domain (!) – so instead I created a WordPress.com free blog and imported the Blogger site to that free WordPress site. Then I ran the export posts Tool and save the xml file on my computer. Then it was a simple task of uploading the XML file into the new WordPress site.

It an extra few steps than anticipated but it worked, maybe this will help someone else out!
