Yesterday I found a script to import posts and comments from blogger beta to WordPress which I’ve used and was VERY pleased with.

If it’s any help, I’ve outlined the steps/sites/plugins I used to migrate my blog to my new domain:
How to move your blog from Blogger Beta to WordPress

Surely our posts aren’t trapped here if we decide to leave.

I’ve had my blog name registered as a domain for about 6 months and will be spending my hols. setting up a really nice WordPress template.

The last straw was when my husband was no longer receiving the feedburner feed in his Thunderbird client. Tried validating the feed and all sorts of strange bits and pieces are added to the RSS…think it’s from blogger (ex beta), as it happened as soon as I switched.

(Now discovered that you can export your old posts from old blogger, but not the new version – oh..curses!)

Hmmm…most curious.

Thanks Pete for switching us over. I was trying to post yesterday and couldn’t because of issues with the old blogger and my account (which is a new blogger account). If I find the energy this weekend I will re-create the post.

Happy Holidays everyone!

So that’s another option to consider.
