So you’ve decided to take the plunge. You’ve weighed the pros and cons of Blogger vs. WordPress and you’re ready to get set up with your own shiny, self-hosted WordPress website. Awesome!

First things first… you’ll need to purchase a domain & hosting. Here’s an article that we’ve already written about that. It’s pretty simple to get set up with your own self-hosted website. We recommend Blue Host for this as we find their service to be awesome,  prices to be fair, and interface to be uncluttered and easy-to-use.

After you get your site set up, log in to your dashboard

Now go back to your WordPress dashboard. Go to Tools / Import & Export.

Now choose Blogger from the list.

Then click activate plugin and run importer when it prompts you. Google will then ask if you want to link your blogger blogs. Click yes.

Then, magically, all your blogger blogs will appear in a list. Choose the blog you’d like to import and click import. Viola! Your posts  and images should import.
