The all new Blogging in Blogger

I had given up on Blogspot ever having a makeover in favor of the nice themes at

wordpress, but man, the new CEO at google is really shaking some stuff here.

Check out the nice features for customizing the themes at Blogspot

(only bad thing- the search feature in helping you choose background images, fonts is really antique

surely the search feature in a G product should be up to the par- instead you have to do the old , drop down, scroll till you find it routine

for images and fonts)

Still a great improvement-

Now if they only improve the WordPress to Blogspot blog converting app at http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/ for blogs bigger than 1 MB)

Ever wanted to move your WordPress blogs over to Blogger? This site can aid in the process!

Login to your WordPress account and navigate to the Dashboard for the blog that you’d like to transfer to Blogger.
Click on the Manage tab below the Blog name.
Click on the Export link below the Manage tab.
Download the WordPress WXR export file by clicking on Download Export File.
Save this file to your local machine.
Browse to that saved document with the form below and click Convert.
Save this file to your local machine. This file will be the contents of your posts/comments from WordPress in a Blogger export file.
Login to your Blogger or create a new user.
Once logged in, click on the Create a Blog link from the user dashboard, and then click on the Import Blog Tool
Follow the instructions and upload your Blogger export file when prompted.
After completing the import wizard, you should have a set of imported posts from WordPress that you can now publish to Blogger. Have fun!

NOTE: This hosted application will only allow downloads smaller than 1MB.
