Frustrating.

Working a little more with my newly registered domain, I've decided to play more seriously with moving the blog from the rather limiting blogger service (Here) to my own Wordpress software.

Wordpress will certainly allow me to do alot more with the blog, and finally leave some of the frustrating aspects of Blogger.com behind.

But, I don't want to loose all of my posts and comments from my 1.5 years here at Blogger. There's simply too much history here to simply brush it off, and start anew.

No problem, right? Wordpress has an import function! Hey - We're all set!

Simply "click click" and all of your Blogger.com posts are supposed to magically import into Wordpress!

Bzzzt! Not so fast.

Turns out the Wordpress import function completely sucks. It doesn't work for the majority of people it seems, based on the plethora of posts on the subject on the Wordpress support forums.

So, now I don't know what to do. It's working...sort of - If you count the successfull import of 1 or 2 posts at a time before it craps out as "Working".

Anyone else out there who has been down this road before have any suggestions?

At 1 or 2 posts per import attempt (Each of which takes about 3 to 5 minutes due to the process that Wordpress goes through) it could take me a long (frustrating) while to successfully complete the process.

I will accomplish it one way or another, but I figure there has to be some sort of easier method.

Doh.
