We call this our Limousine Service because we move websites / blogs to WordPress in style! We’ll pick you up at your Blogger blog (or Typepad or Moveable Type or …), ask you for a few passwords or other details, and then deposit you, your readers, happy search engines, and happy subscribers into your new blog home.
Blogger to WordPress
We have been moving people from WordPress.com, Blogger, Moveable Type, and Typepad (& other smaller services too) for over 3 years. We know how important your readers are. We know that the subscribers don’t like to find an empty feed when they are expecting your blog posts. And we know what Google likes to see when it scans your blog. By purchasing the Limousine service, you don’t have to worry about .htaccess scripts, broken links, cranky search engines or empty feeds. You don’t even have to know what any of those are!
and here’s why:
