    Just Google -- tumblr blog to wordpress -- you should find a few sites that have tutorials on how to do this.

    Hi Michael,

    Try Tumblr2WP which is a new free service that will quickly generate an XML file that contains all of your Tumblr posts, post types and other important meta data. That content can then be imported to WordPress using the import function on the site.

    I have used it in the past and works like a charm. If you have any more questions please let me know .

      Alright I realize that the site I'm moving was hosted by tumblr. Now I have hostgator for another site, and I just added the domain I'm transferring to my hostgator account (addon domain).

      How do I point the domain from godaddy to hostgator instead of to tumblr?

    Login to your hostgator account, find the nameservers (2), login to godaddy, go to domains, domain management, select your domain, and in the top you can click on nameservers, click on set nameservers, select: I have specific nameservers for my domains and insert the 2 nameservers. Sometimes it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to go in effect.
