Step 1: Export your blogger blog files from your Blogger dashboard, so we can easily move all your blog content to WordPress.

Step 2. Import Blogger to WordPress by using the built-in Blogger importer in WordPress.

Step 3: Setup Pretty Permalinks – you want to setup permalinks to keep your SEO rankings intact when you are switching from blogger to WordPress.

Step 4. Setup redirection – this redirects your old blogger users to your new WordPress site ensuring that your pageviews stay high.

Step 5. Redirect blogger feeds to WordPress – when you do this, all your subscribers will continue to get the new content without having to resubscribe.

Step 6. Import images from Blogger to WordPress – sometimes the importer may fail, so you would need to use this external plugin to fix that problem.
