I have another blog on blogger that needs to be moved over to wordpress soon.  This will make it a lot easier!

Don't do that one out of order.

5. Change the WordPress site settings and your host settings to move from the subdomain to the main domain (or use APACHE to do it manually)

It is fairly straight forward.

1. Set up new Wordpress blog (use a subdomain for the testing and layout)

2. Import posts from Blogger using Wordpress import tool

3. Install a Blogger -> Wordpress post URL redirect plugin

4. Move the domain name at your host to point to your new nameservers

5. Change the Wordpress site settings and your host settings to move from the subdomain to the main domain (or use APACHE to do it manually)

Thanks,

Timothy

I had a similar move since I already had purchased my domain/URL but had it hosted with blogger. So when I moved everything I used this guide so I each search engine result would be redirected as well

I may be getting URL and domain confused, but I've actually have had my own domain for two years. I bought it through blogger, but it is managed by eNom, and the blog is hosted by blogger. I guess I essentially just want to have my blog hosted through wordpress, which my dreamhost account will allow. 

 

You make it sound so simple, but last time I tried to redirect something on another website there was a bit of a disaster, and just a few tears. So do you know of a step-by-step guide?

 

Thank you!

Andi

My hurdle was learning about hosting since I was with Blogger for everything. There is more setup to do and understand. 

Since you are starting from scratch, it's probably easier too.

It's really simple. i have moved 3 blogs from blogger to wordpress. You just need to buy your URL first so that you keep all of your stats. Wait at least a month or two till after you have bought the URL to move it. Back up all of your files and posts. Next you just add WP to your new URL. Change the domain name servers. You can transfer all of your blog posts right over to WP from Blogger. Redirect your old site to your new one and done!

I paid Blogcrafted.com to migrate from Blogger to Wordpress, so I'm sorry I can't help more there...

Basically you'll want to setup wordpress at the new host first, set up your theme/etc.  Then import your blogger posts.  Go to tools/import in wordpress and you can import your blogger comments and posts..

 

of course you'll also need to make sure your posts are redirecting correctly as well, the post above mentions that in part.

 

Good luck!
