THIS BLOG IS UNDERGOING A MAJOR MAKE-OVER
It’s time as this is the 400th post! Thank you all for supporting me and my knitting efforts. I hope to come back with a new site and my own domain.

Looking forward to your new look!
Can you knit a new page together? Colors?
Nice clean layout. All sections seem to work as they should. Sorry to hear about the difficulty with transferring your posts from Blogger to Wordpress. I switched over from Blogger to Wordpress last year and did not experience the difficulties you are describing, so I will pull my notes and see if I can find the reference I used to guide me through the process. Wordpress has this amazing Codex — which is some of the most complete documentation I have ever seen, plus you can post a question to the forums and usually will get an answer to your problem fairly quickly. Good luck with the new blog.
Back again with a couple of links from the Wordpress.org Codex:

You may have already researched this, but if not — I hope this helps.
Thanks Lindy for the nice words. I’m not really having a problem transferring all the posts and comments over. That works just GREAT! The only problem is transferring the images from the blogger server to my own hosted server now. I have to do that one by one….. unless you have another suggestion?
Well, I did a little more searching and found this in the Codex:
“If you’re transitioning to WordPress from another blog platform, you can import your old content. Go to Manage > Import and select the specific software you’re importing from. Almost all blogs can be imported into WordPress. However, when you import content from another site, only the posts, categories, and tags import, not any pictures.”
You have probably already studied this problem, but have you tried FTP’ing your files into your WP theme images folder? That, at least would make the task a little shorter — you’d just need to go in and edit the link to the image in the post, rather than having to import each one at a time.
