Blogger to Drupal
FC - March 26, 2009 - 22:26

I had to transfer a Blogger blog to Drupal for a client, so I thought I would share my end-solution here.

For starters, there seems to be no module to date that can handle the task. WordPress, however, offers a means of importing Blogger content into itself. Unfortunately, a WP.org Blogger import is notorious for failing. The importer in WP.com works, however. Here's my solutions to date:

- Go into the Blogger Settings and Export your blog to the XML (Atom) file it provides.
- Create a WP.com account.
- Create a temporary blog within your WP.com account.
- Go into the WP.com Site Admin section, and select Tools from the panel down the left-hand side.
- Select "Import" from the expanded menu Tools item from the menu down the side.
- Import the XML (Atom) file from Blogger.
- Export your WP.com blog.
- Install the the wordpress_import module (http://drupal.org/project/wordpress_import) to your Drupal site.
- Import the file that WP.com created on Export into this module.

This should get you the Blogger data into your Drupal install. I exported from WP.com to a WP installation, then out of that into Drupal. I'm assuming that that extra step isn't necessary.
