		<description>Hey Rob,

It&#039;s actually quite easy, and totally no-risk - the good thing is you have your own domain name, which means you take your PR and links with you!

As I understand it, setup a new wordpress blog on a sub-domain. There are several plugins available that will import all of your posts &amp; comments across into the new blog. Your original blog should still be working fine, and you will effectively have a mirror copy on Wordpress. Last step is to then just point the nameservers of your domain away from blogspot and onto your wordpress blog.

Should be seamless, and your old blog will still be there on it&#039;s .blogspot address if you needed to switch back.</description>

		<description>My site has always been self-hosted, so I can&#039;t draw a comparison to Blogspot.

I&#039;m not sure I&#039;m really ready to do so, but how tough is it to convert an existing blog from the Blogger platform to WordPress?  Sounds very dicey...</description>

		<description>Hi Rob :-D

Blogger has it&#039;s plus point, but once you try WordPress, you wouldn&#039;t go back.

Are you blogger self-hosted I take it, from your use of a sitemap generator. How does it compare to Blogspot?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so glad I found WordPress first.

I&#039;ve got a Blogger blog I mess about with for the purposes of researching things for Blog-Op, and it&#039;s awful!</description>

		<description>I always thought that going for a free blog platform equals to shooting yourself in the foot... 
But this seems more like a head shot...</description>
