   Hi

   I have a blog that I started on Blogger. I then bought a domain name - http://www.chichestersharks.co.uk and hosting package and set Blogger up to post to that domain.

   Realising years later that I would rather use WordPress, I have been building a new site - http://chichestersharks.wordpress.com/ - which I'm almost ready to launch. First I want to domain map to my own URL (www.chichestersharks.co.uk). I understand how to do this.

   My problem is:

   * how do I import my existing posts files from my host server to WordPress?

   * failing that, anyone know how to import them back into Blogger, so I can add a link from my WordPress site to my 'archive' on Blogger?

   Or has anyone got a better idea? :-)

   cheers for any suggestions

   Gary

   Import from blogger: go to "Manage" > "Import" and click on the "Blogger" hyperlink, then follow the instructions.

   yeah, i've tried that and it says there are zero posts to import.

   I think that maybe when you use Blogger to post to a blog on a separate hosted site with your own domain name, the posts are not stored on Blogger. Looking in my files on my hosting providers' control panel, I can see the html pages of my posts. is a correct assumption?

   Any suggestions?

   What about asking Blogger support how to export your contents?

   Thanks I think i'll have to. Was hoping WordPress would have a solution!
