How to: Import your Blogger posts into WordPress

Ditching Blogger…plus a “delicous” discovery
Although I’m still a slave to Blogger.com, I thought this informative post just might come in handy sometime in the future if I feel like jumping ship – over to WordPress. After all, Blogger does not allow me to categorize my posts. However, I’m a huge del.icio.us user now so screw categories…tags are “waaaay” more powerful. Oh, you don’t believe me?? Well take a peek at this: http://del.icio.us/maxtheitpro. I’m starting to use del.icio.us to bookmark everything. Ditto the posts for AyoAfrica, which is the eBusiness/eCommerce web portal (still in beta mode) that’s been occupying the majority of my time here in Kenya. See for yourself: http://del.icio.us/ayoafrica. Once I get the blogs up for the Motoring, online Pharmacy, Movie library, Arts section, etc., the competition ain’t gonna know what hit em. You see, we want to excel in Customer Service and blogs are a great tool for doing just that. Take a peek at our LifeSize Magazine and Motoring blogs. Stay tuned!

Now, if you’ve been in the dark about the latest and greatest FREE services on the Internet, del.icio.us is simply a site that stores all your bookmarks, posts, etc. using tags so that you, your friends or fellow web surfers can peek your links. Heck, I don’t know how the f!ck I got along without it. Let’s just say I don’t bother bookmarking anything any more. That’s “soooo” passe. My life as an Internet whore is now even more deliciously devine.

Oh!
As I was saying, this script, which was hacked by some dude named Andy (aka Skeltoac), allows you to move (er, import) all of your Blogger posts and comments right into WordPress. Moreover, WordPress is supposedly an AMAZING blogging application that’s 100% FREE thanks to the spirit of the Internet and the Open Source community. Heck, even my favorite IT pro on the planet, John C. Dvorak, uses WordPress on his personal blog, Dvorak Uncensored. So, if it’s good enough for him, then I should be okay. After all, he’s fussy…but in a good way.
