Hi, this is Amit from Digital Inspiration. In this tutorial I will show you how you can move a blog from Blogspot.com to your own domain which is using good piece software without losing any of your blog readers, your other subscribers or any of your search rankings. This whole thing should take about two to three minutes, so this is my Blogger, blog. It has three posts about presidents of America nothing much and this is my WordPress blog. It is posted on my own domain and it has just a hello word post and nothing much and we have to import everything from Blogger into this WordPress site. So let us see how can we do it, I’ll open my WordPress dashboard. From there I will go to tools, import and select Blogger from this.
Now on the next step I need to authorize WordPress so that it can use my Google account data. I just really click the authorize button and on the next screen, I will say grant access. Now WordPress will show me a list of all blogs that are associated with my Google account. I select the one that I want to import into WordPress and say import. After the importing is done I just need to select the author with whom it is the post should to be associated with. I just use the default and say save changes. Now that I’ll put the post, I will import it into WordPress. Let’s see how that looked on the blog.
Next we need to upload a file to our WordPress template directory. Now you may use FFTP or put URL or anything else. So switch to the directory that host your WordPress template files and just upload this file. It is a very simple process. Next we need to rename this file from Blogger.php.docs to simply Blogger.php. Now go to your WordPress dashboard again and click pages, add new to create a new page. Let us call this page Blogger and this based on the template Blogger which you just uploaded to your WordPress template directory.
Next open your Blogger dashboard and go to HTML and scroll down and you will see a link that says revert to classic template just click that. Now open the classic template generator and type the address of your WordPress site. Make sure you type the full address including the HTTP thing and trailing slash. Click submit and this will generate the classic template for you, just copy the entire thing and paste into your WordPress template area and save the changes.
