We can see the meaning from picture above right? We want to migrate our blog from wordpress to blogspot. I think this is rarely happen to blogger, because if we use one of that engine, we'll loyal to use it. Never want to change it from wordpress to blogspot or vice versa. But it still worth to learn how to do that.
First step is login to your wordpress account. When you inside your dashboard, try to find tools tab and choose export. You will see page like this picture below.
For restrict Author option, you can choose it as you want. Default value is you will export all posts from all users. But in advance you can choose which author's posts want to export. Finish with that just push download button and save your .xml file.
Now we login to our blogspot and choose settings tab. You will see blog tools there, give you 3 option, import, export, and delete blog. You know what to do here, click import blog and you will see this




Now you know where to put .xml file that you've download from wordpress blog. Shall we put it now? Maybe you want to try it first before I answer that question. My answer we can't do that now. It's because xml format from wordpress is different with xml format for blogger. So what we do next? Convert it. Do it myself? Hahaha, we use service from other website. Please visit this blog

You will see a set of instruction how to convert it. When you finish convert your xml file, you can put it now on import form from blogspot. For your information, you only have your post only without pages from wordpress. I think it because blogspot not support pages. Happy blogging.
