Migrating Your Existing Blog to WordPress

So you have a blog on a different blogging system and want to move your

blog to WordPress? This chapter helps you accomplish just that. WordPress makes it relatively easy to pack up your data and archives from one blog platform and move to a new WordPress blog.

WordPress lets you move your blog from such platforms as Blogspot,

TypePad, and Movable Type. It also gives you a nifty way to migrate from
any blogging platform via RSS feeds, as long as the platform you’re import-
ing from has an RSS feed available. Some platforms, such as MySpace,
have some limitations on RSS feed availability, so be sure to check with
your platform provider. In this chapter, you discover how to prepare your
blog for migration and how to move from the specific platforms for which
WordPress provides importer plugins.
