Import Blogger Posts into WordPress Using Windows XP XAMPP
(Page 1 of 4 )
This tutorial covers transferring Blogger posts to a WordPress local host powered by XAMPP. XAMPP is a local Apache server for Windows XP, which enables you to run a PHP-MySQL-powered website right on your Windows XP Home computer.
However, how to set up and configure XAMPP to run in Windows XP is beyond the scope of this tutorial. I highly recommend reading this very useful tutorial if you run the Windows XP Home operating system on your computer.
One of the most frequent reasons for importing Blogger post to WordPress localhost is to switch from Blogger to WordPress publishing software. In order to work successfully, a localhost WordPress needs to be created and completed before it can be uploaded to your selected web hosting company.
Necessary Prerequisites
In order to maximize what you can learning from this tutorial, it is highly recommended that you meet the following requisites:
- Enough Blogger posts to transfer (of course, I assume you have enough already). If you have less that five posts to transfer to WordPress, then doing it manually (in a copy-and-paste procedure) will be more efficient than following the methods in this tutorial.
- A personal Google account. It is safer that those blogs you are working is under your own personal Google account, if not then you need to obtain some permissions from the real account owner before you can do this.
- A working XAMPP installation in Windows XP Home. Follow the installation tips given on the above link.
- Your selected and final WordPress theme to use. Find suitable themes first. This will ensure that you can immediately see the imported posts the way you wanted people to see them. You can easily select your favorite WordPress themes. Of course, before you install any themes, you need to install WordPress in the localhost, which will be the first step.
