Luckily, a post by AlanA pointed me to Blogger2Wordpress conversion tool.  I exported my blog from Blogger, uploaded it to the tool, it spat out a .wxr file which I then imported to Wordpress.

Looks like it has got all the posts, images and comments.

Great stuff.

I've been persuaded by Torgo and others to play with Wordpress. All I knew about it before today was that every blogger on twitter keeps moaning about it - so I really wasn't quite sure what to expect.

Well, 15 minutes after downloading, I'm faced with an excellent interface, some very useful options and a system that suits me fine.

I really like what I see here, so, on with the show :-) Time to configure the hell out of it.
