Is there a tool or OOB solution for migrating pages and content from a Blogger site to a Wordpress site which can be recommended based on previous experience.

I know there are plenty of free and paid tools out there but want to base my choice on advice.

"Existing within the existing..." What is that, a semantic game? – songdogtech Nov 22 '12 at 17:22

Close voted as off topic (it's a plugin recommendation), but, doesn't the native WordPress Importer Plugin handle that? – kaiser Nov 22 '12 at 18:57

You should search first. WordPress has a Blogger import filter: http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content

There are lots of plugins to handle redirects and images: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=blogger&sort=

Answers on WPSE, too: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/search?q=blogger+import

and, lastly: http://www.google.com/search?&q=blogger+migrate+wordpress

Basically, it involves exporting Blogger content, importing it via the WordPress import filter, moving/caching images, and then optionally redirecting traffic from Blogger to WP using 301 redirects in page templates at Blogger.

Note that plugin suggestions for this are out of bounds on WPSE, re: the FAQ wordpress.stackexchange.com/faq

Read the docs and feedback on the importer and plugins at and try them out.

Do you have any experience with these? I guess thats really what I'm asking, suggestions based on experience. – Graeme Hutchison Nov 22 '12 at 17:29
