This is such a bad move. And so transparent. To protect Bloggers from spam? They really must think we’re all retarded.

Hello Lin, I think your best move would be to change web hosts from Blogger to another host. Once you have hosting set up, install Wordpress. There is a tutorial on my blog that will walk you through how to do this. You can then import all your posts from Blogger to Wordpress. Your old blog would not go down or would you loose traffic. (I sent you an email)

Rose, thanks for posting this. This situation has me very upset. I’m definitely on a hunt for an easy tutorial on how-to move my blog to WP. I have my own domain name, but it’s hosted on blogger. I haven’t found any posts that explain how to keep my current blog domain up and running while I’m moving my posts over to WP.

At the moment I’m very confused as to the best way of making the change without losing my current readers or causing my blog to go offline while making the change. I don’t know if I should get a brand new domain name hosted on WP and start from scratch or what to do.

Even Matt Cutts uses Wordpress and he is the voice of Google!

I would like to move but will lose my links. Could not see the problem with the current system. Perhaps they could leave it but only for blogs that do not enable moderation.

Well I meant to say in the free platforms. Most hosted platforms are WordPress, that’s without a doubt.

My arguement is that Blogger wants to force every to use a Google account or play in the Blogger Sandbox.
