Manual Transfer of Posts

November 3rd, 2005

I began moving the contents of my blog at Blogger over to this new domain. I switched from a Blogger format to a Wordpress format, and tried the import feature, but had nothing but bad luck. The first couple of times I received garbled text, and I had to uninstall Wordpress and reinstall three times before deciding to call that method quits. Seems that I am not alone in my difficulties - Wordpress Support

So I have decided to copy the contents over one post at a time. Though it is a tedious task, it should prove effective. Luckily I have years of experience performing tedious tasks through my directory editing work. In order to avoid any duplicate content issues, I am copying the code over and holding the post as a draft in my Ecto interface. Once I transfer all of the code over, I will delete the blog through my account at Blogger, and change the status from draft to published for each post here. That should do the trick in avoiding any dupe content issues. Now I need to look into setting up a 301 via Blogger.
