How to migrate post and comments from Blogger Blogspot to self host WordPress? Moving from Blogger Blogspot to WordPress is now so much simpler. In the good old days, moving from one platform to another means exporting and importing XML, this requires downloading and uploading and if the XML file is too big, this might crash your server.
