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.

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? Thanks Lindy for the nice words. I’m not really having a problem transferring all the posts and comments over.

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. 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.
