Thus my comment about "that'll teach me"! If you're using an original Blogger account, you can (apparently) import all your old Blogger content into WordPress. Also, someone has created an unsupported "beta" script for importing from the new Blogger... but it only works if your Blogger blog is hosted on blogspot. <sigh> So... I just happened to be in the worst of all possible situations with regard to getting off of Blogger. Not to worry, though. Aside from porting the comments over (which is a bit of a pain), doing a few posts at a time is not that bad. I'll get there ;-) Hi Chris, thanks for the link, but… unfortunately all the Blogger import tools only work with the “old” Blogger, and I was foolish enough to upgrade the “brand new” Blogger (you know… the one you have to log into with a Google account and which barely functions?)
