Finally after lot of discussion with friends, i was convinced to select this domain. Then comes the task of migrating my existing blog on Blogger to WordPress. If you Google for this, you will get lot of links and detail instructions on migration.

I decided not to use fantastico, since it had older version of WordPress. I did fresh install of WordPress on my server and started the import process. Every time i tried to import it hanged after importing 1 post / comment. There was no error message. After lot of struggle and google I found this solution.

1. Create an account/blog on http://wordpress.com

2. Import your blog from blogger to wordpress.com

3. Export blog from wordpress.com to your local machine. Export generates XML file.

4. Then import XML file in your wordpress blog (on your server).

Everything was imported correctly (Posts, comments, dates etc ). Only concern is you might end up with lot of categories. So you should delete unwanted stuff. That’s it.. now time to blog on your new blog site. 🙂 Happy blogging ….
