Hi Dave, Kevin -- I've done a few migrations for people who were in this situation. As a WordPress developer I'm using WordPress, though there are ways to create xml documents importable into other blogging platforms out there. Here's my recipe. I've gotten pretty good feedback on it, though with a larger blog, a huge migration like this does take a lot of work. Lots of gotchas: dealing old content, anchors, differences in how pages are named, labels vs. tags, redirecting archives and feeds, accounting for images and different paths for images. http://artlung.com/blog/2010/03/02/migrating-an-old-blogger-blog-to-wordpress/ Google/Blogger does provide a migration path: http://blogger-ftp.blogspot.com/2010/03/ftp-migration-tool-released.html Though it does not handle things like images. http://artlung.com/blog/2010/03/04/blogger-ftp-migration-tool-does-not-account-for-your-images/ Regards, Joe Crawford http://artlung.com/ http://joecrawford.com/ On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 4:37 PM, Dave Farber <dave () farber net> wrote:Begin forwarded message: From: "Kevin G.

Google's Blogger is ending support for ftp publishing, which enabled bloggers to publish their blogs to their own servers.On May 1, your Blogger blog will have to be hosted on a Google machine, either via their blogspot service or by pointing your current blog URL to aGoogle server.How are IP readers currently using Blogger FTP publishing planning to handlethis situation?
