Untethered from Blogspot… Star Hitched to WordPress Wagon

Well — I gave Blogger my best shot. And I still give it two thumbs up for ease of use, ok photo handling and general reliability. But beyond that, everything about Blogger is a hack or a kludge — it was time to move on. So, I offer a Colbertian tip of the hat to WordPress for making an almost-perfect Blogger import utility (would be nice to slurp in copies of embedded photos!). Also, a tip of the hat goes to Tom Sherman at Underscorebleach for posting “Moving from Blogger to WordPress: Best Practices“. Blogger redirects work like a charm — thanks.

    hi, i went through this back with WP 1.5 with afairly short blog and just dealt with the embedded photos not showing up, but my girlfriend is planning to do this with a huge blogger blog with hundreds of embeded photos… is there any hope for being able to mass migrate those that you know of? thanks if you know of something….
