The big migration is complete, and seems to be working. Hopefully I’ve set up all the feed stuff correctly so that if you’ve subscribed to my blog, you’re still receiving it.
I have to give the credit for this painless migration to two people. Mama Blogga wrote this awesome guide to migrating. It was so comprehensive, in fact, that I only had one issue. And the issue had nothing to do with her instructions at all. I’m pretty sure it was a buggy thing with the latest version of WordPress. You see, one of the beauties of WordPress is that is has a handy auto-import tool that seamlessly imports all your posts and comments from Blogger. But that didn’t work. It imported nothing. So that’s where my second helper came in. My crazy/funny/smart friend Brent stepped in and helped me import the Blogger site into the old version of WordPress (v2.9.2), then export it into a WordPress xml file that I downloaded, then import that file into the new version of WordPress (v3.0).
And voila. I’m here.
I still have lots of tweaking to do. But thankfully I love the redesign part. And I’m sure I’ll go a little plug-in happy for a bit. But I’m done now! Thanks for moving with me!
P.S. I did almost all of this while drinking wine on my back porch last night. And the issues bit I did this morning via conversations on Twitter and email WHILE I was entertaining company and a film crew at my house. So really, it’s VERY easy to do. Don’t be scared.
UPDATE: Looks like I did something wrong with the feeds. I’ll look into it.
Looks great — congrats!

Welcome to the light.
I know, seriously. I’ve been planning to do it for about 6 months, but I just kept saying I didn’t have the time.
Yeah, what Bryan said. Woo hoo for WordPress!
Nice work! It’s purty!!! Look forward to reading future blog posts in this delightful format!
Looking good!
I’ve been throwing around the idea of migrating from Blogger to WordPress myself recently after a friend mentioned it… I don’t know why, but I’m afraid to!
Looks great Girl! I’m migrating soon too. Lovin’ you.
Do it! I’m so glad I did.
The feed is the trickiest part – let me know if you need help fixing it.
