New Blogger Importer
Don’t call it a beta! This is the fourth version of the Blogger-to-WordPress blog migration tool. Does anyone else remember the original procedure with all of the settings and template changes? Ouch.
Thanks to the magic of Google APIs, the new importer works without modifying your New Blogger blog. If you haven’t upgraded your Blogger account yet, hop to it! Then you can copy your posts, comments and categories from Blogger into WordPress.
For blogs with multiple authors, it lets you assign each author’s posts to anyone registered on your WordPress blog. I put it through many tests and now it’s your turn. If you run into trouble, click the Feedback link in your admin pages and we’ll take a look. Just don’t tell us it’s too hard to use:
You’ll find it in the same old place: go to your dashboard, then click Manage, Import, Blogger. This new Blogger migration tool will also be included in the core WordPress package, most likely version 2.2.

Its very cool. But it dosen’t seem to be working for me. I am on IE 7 and its been authorized it shows me the number of posts and comments and The Magic Button. When I click the magic button nothing happens. However, I do see a javascript error on the page. Line 161, Error: Expected identifier, string or number.

I wonder, should I start a blogger blog so I can try this out? I feel like it is the only way for me to really appreciate it. There may be something amiss in my perception here; it happens.
Oh, wait… if I know some blogger bloggers, I could tell them, couldn’t I? Or, maybe I already told them to get their great ideas started here and they didn’t listen to that either. Oh, never mind, I will just watch all the WordPress numbers go up as they eventually catch on to this place!!!
Nothing gets worse here, it just keeps getting better and better. Not hard to notice, actually!!! 🙂 🙂 😀 😉 Did I forget to say THANK!!!???!!!
