A few days ago, I transferred my blog from wordpress to what I'm using now, blogger.
I was having a hard time with wordpress. There were 1) ads that kept on popping up, 2) I couldn't upload videos or audios, and 3) The price to remove all ads and upload videos and audios was OURAGEOUS. Also, blogger had better templates that you could download whereas wordpress didn't.
Anyway, it took me quite a while to figure out how to transfer my old blog to my new blog. If only I could have found this little site sooner than when I did find it. Well, here is the link. It practically saved my life.
Now, go here (its called "Google blog converters") It gives you all of the instructions.
If you're wondering where I got my template, go here. I LOVE these templates. They are so cheap (I paid $5 for mine) and the owner even offers to install it for you for FREE. But if you decide to install it yourself (like I did), well, the instructions are just really clear! The owner was very easy to work with and they said that if I had any questions, I could contact them and they'd be delighted to help. So I highly recommend them!!
So that is how I transferred my blog. I hope it helps you and your blogging journey. The only negative thing about transferring blogs is that I lost all of my followers. But hopefully soon I'll get up to what I had before. :)
Also, Abbiee helped me out A LOT with some of the details on my blog that I couldn't figure out! She is also the one who recommended the site where I got my template from and she answered all of the questions I had. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Abbiee!!!
And remember, if you have any questions, comment below or email me at madelynsunshine@gmail.com.
do you use wordpress or blogger? are you going to transfer your blog? which blogging site do you prefer? were the instructions easy to understand? how do you like my new design? did you follow my blog?

DeleteHi Maddy, *waves*
ReplyDeleteI just heard about your blog from Abbiee. I love your design - it's so clean and pretty!
I love this tutorial too - I know it's going to come in handy one day! But I'm curious: where you able to move all your blog comments from WP too? Or did you have to start from scratch?
cheers.

Hey Keira!! *waves back*
DeleteAHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
To answer your question, YES It did allow me to move all the comments, although it didn't move the profile pictures of the people who commented.
Hope that helped. And don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions. <3
