I wasn&#8217;t sure whether I should make the move. I didn&#8217;t want any Google juice to be lost or give my readers 404s. In my old setup I was using Feedburner to serve my feeds and Blogger to serve my blog. Now WordPress serves the blog and Feedburner still serves the feeds. Here you have the steps.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Install WordPress (I used 2.6.3)<\/li>\n<li>Import the blog posts and comments from Blogger. Go to Manage -&gt; Import in WordPress and follow the instructions there.<\/li>\n<li>Set the authors properly.<\/li>\n<li>Download and install the WordPress plugin <a href=\"http:\/\/justinsomnia.org\/files\/wp-maintain-blogger-permalinks-1.0.zip\" target=\"_blank\">wp-maintain-blogger-permalinks-1.0.zip<\/a>. (Do not forget to enable the plugin as well)<\/li>\n<li>Under Manage &gt; Maintain Blogger Permalinks click the button that says Maintain Blogger Permalinks.<\/li>\n<li>You can disable (or even delete) the wp-maintain-blogger-permalinks plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Options &gt; Permalinks, select Custom, and enter the following:\n<pre>\/%year%\/%monthnum%\/%postname%.html<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u2026and you are done \ud83d\ude42 .<br \/>\nHope this helps someone who wants to move to WordPress form blogger.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-like\" style=\"\"><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https:\/\/mohanjith.net\/blog\/2008\/10\/bye-bye-blogger-howdy-wordpress.html&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=300&amp;action=like&amp;font=&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;locale=en_US\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:300px; height:30px\"><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally moved my blog to WordPress from Blogger.
