I have a blog on blogspot with 129 post and about 50 followers. I just got my own domain and hosting and I am going to start a wordpress blog about the same thing.. Should I transfer the stuff from blogger or just start over. I can see I am going to have to learn a lot about wordpress cause I am use to using blogspot. Any advice will help. Suggestions about google friend connect, feedburner, I will take any advice you have. Thanks Again!

    Just copy the post and paste it onto wordpress/
    wordpress is a learning curve at first.
    but it is very simple when you get the hang of it.
    and wordpress has many plugins that you are probably imagining about in your head

    That's a crazy thing... I mean the copy/paste idea.

    In your admin panel under Tools you have an Import button. Did you check it out? (Bozigian should also learn about it before posting nonsense advice...)

    Import everything, check if it's working - then delete the posts at blogger, leaving just one telling them to go to the new address (=your domain).

    Yes - I agree with Istvan - copying and pasting would not be the best way to go.

    Here are 2 articles that describe the process. This one deals with moving your content:

    And this one deals with redirecting the subscribers you have on your Blogger account:
