Earlier this month I was busy helping two friends out with shifting their blogspot blogs into their new wordpress home. Which I’m quite proud to say I’m sponsoring them with the hosting while they got their own domain for themselves. The two bloggers are Mr Ming Han and Mr “Soh Han Sem” Soon Wei.Mr Ming Han who is on threeminutenights.blogspot.com will be shifting soon. Where as Mr Soon Wei has already moved from interconnections.blogspot.com to new home www.soonwei.com.
So proud of my proteges 
Both of them were originally on blogger (which i still say sucks!).
Anyway before i go into biasness, I had to help them set up and transfer all their past and present posts into their new home. This was the tough part because about a year back, WordPress could import posts from blogger. But recently – and i think understandably – Blogger has created some sort of block so that WordPress can’t import posts from your old blogspot blogs. Rightly so. Everytime you wanted to get your posts it’ll just remain stuck.
This is what it will look like once you grant blogger access on your wordpress. Keep your eyes on thestagecalls. The second last row. Once i hit import…it’s suppose to move.
Hence this is another way for you to get your posts from blogspot in , if you are having difficulty. Let me list it to you step by step.

But see here it gets stuck. Leaving it at one like forever and ever.

Importing Blogger RSS Posts into WordPress
- What we are going to do is save your blog post into an .XML file. First type in this into your address bar. Say your blogger add is “test.blogspot.com”. So you should have something like this. You’re basically getting your feed. “test.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?start-index=1&max-results=999&alt=rss” Now you see the number “999″ there, reason I put 999 is so that when you enter in that entire add it will actually collect all the posts you have in your blog. Not unless of course you written 1000 blog posts. If you have that many posts, I suggest, you split up your file. So that it is not too big.
- Once you key in that link of your blog, you’ll end up with a page that looks like this. So you’re on the right track if u see this jumbled mess.
- From there right click and “save as” the page as a .xml file. You can name it to whatever you want. In this case, let’s just say the file you save is called test.xml. Save it to your desktop.
- Then head on into your wordpress dashboard and go to manage> Import. Once in that page click on the one that says “RSS”.
- You will see this. Go find that test.xml file and upload it. Even thought it states max 10MB. It’s fine, cause if say you have tons of posts just upload them in batches. Like test.xml, test2.xml…etc.
- Right so now upload and just watch the magic. Then TA-DA! All your post are in.
- Nope that’s it now enjoy all your post in your new blog on wordpress.
