OK, I have finally take the plunge and decided to have my own hosting and start using WordPress. One problem, no idea how to transfer all the posts here. I have found a hosting and as you can see I’m currently still using my own domain with blogger.
Can any kind souls out there please help me with this method? I am a total dummy here. Starting to doubt whether I’ve made the right decision. SOS!
update: OK, I have figured out how to export my posts. Now, I’m not too sure how to install Wordpress to my host, damn it, seems to be complicated.

Hi cc, I don’t know exactly what domain you are using currently but it is very easy to export all your posts to wordpress (in my case, it was easy from blogger to wordpress).
Go and have a look. Click on dashboard, then manage and it will then give you a choice of domain where you wish to import posts to Wordpress.
Hope that helps.

It is rather easy.
Go into your hosting’s Cpanel (control panel).
It will have a “fantasico” icon there.
Click on it.
Among the many icons that appear, there will be “wordpress”.
Click on it. Follow instructions.
3 steps later, your wordpress is born.
I will teach you how to import the post, if you have problem.

Thanks for that! I’m still waiting for my domain to be transfered to the new provider. Will do that once it’s done. Thanks you very much for your help. I’ll be in touch if my dummy brain works up again. Haha.

Hi,
Once you have installed your new wordpress platform, you can import it directly from blogger.
In case if you face any problem, always refer to Wordpress online for help at http://codex.wordpress.org
Here is a simple tutorial on how to import from blogger :

If you have cPanel with Fantastico installed, installing Wordpress is just a click of a button away. Who are you hosting with?
