Migrating to WordPress

So I’ve been maintaining two separate blogs over on Blogger.com–one for my personal journal and one for my work journal (which gets re-blogged onto my employer’s TechRepublic.com site). Now the reason for two blogs is that they cover separate categories of content, and Blogger doesn’t have a way to separate categories within a single blog.

Naturally I’ve been thinking about trying WordPress but the lazy bastard that I am I didn’t want to install it myself. Which is why this WordPress.com thing is awesome. Now the only stumbling block is that I’d really like to import my entries from Blogger.com into this WordPress blog.

You can’t do that quite yet, but a very well-placed source informs me that later this month the WordPress.com site should be adding import functionality. Then I’ll be able to suck in my other blog, categorize the entries, and then have just one blog to deal with.

[...] Well now that you can get a wordpress account without an invite I got one ! But I would like to move all my posts from blogger to here (not that there are lots ). I guess this should be a default feature for all services that are launched nowadays. I mean the whos-who of the blogosphere are already blogging and if you want them to switch to your service, then there should be a “import from service”. I read here that it was a planned feature, hopefully we will see it soon [...]

I’m very, very impressed that this sort of work is being done; Web Design is getting stagnant with people using just styled
block-level elements to produce artwork. The incorporation of SVG into sites excites me a lot.
How long do you expect it will take for this sort of technology to be widespread?
Obviously you can only speak about WebKit realistically, but if it’s going to take ten years for IE Win to gain (full) support,
we can’t design with it.
I’m amused by the “Becoming more important” line in the first paragraph. This has been a HUGE problem for years –
ever since HTML-2.0 was introduced to be more of a layout language and less of a markup language. For an example,
you just have to look at this site. sex partners Why is all the text
crammed over on the left side of the page with a big blank space on the right side?
Why is the default font tiny and unreadable? Fortunately most browsers now let you override the latter problem.
