It was a bit of a pain the bit since I was winging it, but it can be done, especially if you use the following resources. The most important thing is maintaining your permalinks. I used the article that is on the link that vneely posted (click the "David Pascoe" link). Basically there are 2 lines that you need to add to your wordpress import blogger.php and voila! ALSO!!! when you have Wordpress loaded go to "Options" then "Permalinks" and select "Custom" Put this in the custom box "/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html"<br/>Make sure you do this BEFORE you import your blogger posts.<br/><br/>You'll also need to go and switch any photos you posted on blogger to your own hosting. Blogger doesn't like hotlinking.<br/><br/>I LOVE wordpress. Amy,

Make sure you do this BEFORE you import your blogger posts.

You’ll also need to go and switch any photos you posted on blogger to your own hosting. Blogger doesn’t like hotlinking.

I LOVE wordpress.

I think I'm going to be a copy cat and go ahead and make the switch. I'm getting rather fed up with blogger any way. Amy, I have been debating whether or not to switch over to WordPress.

One thing to note you'll have to re-do a lot of the aspects of your page design, because they don't transfer over while your blog entries do. It is pretty easy like Ethan said.
