how to migrate, move, copy or export blog posts from blogger to wordpress

I haven't writen a blog post recently because I just moved from blogger to wordpress and going back to the post I wrote on choosing the better platform between blogger and wordpress, I made mention of moving over to wordpress someday but I didn't even know back then it would be so soon!

Apart from using nice share buttons, bookmarking your site on different social networks also serves as a way to alert your visitors each time you post an update.

How To Attach Files For Downloads On Blogspot

November 10, 2011 By Don Caprio 11 Comments

Maybe you have some games, softwares, zip files or some files in an uncommon format you intend to share with your blog readers, there are still alternative sites to use that provide free space to host these files.There are so many file sharing/hosting sites you can use and these include hotfile, mediafire, rapidshare, megaupload and so on. I do use hotfile because they allow remote uploading. This means uploading files through … [Read more...]
