A Word of Caution if You have a Well Established Blogger Site

Moving the posts and comments and users from other blogging platforms to WordPress is not that difficult, but it does require some expertise, if your current site has some status in the search engines to setup the proper redirects on the old site, so that you can have any visitors that arrive via links to the old site get automatically redirected to your new blog.

Another potential issue is with images or pictures used in your posts. If they are embedded into your Blogger site, then they will need to be manually moved to the new site and each reference to the all the images in all of your posts will need to be edited to reference the new image location (on your new site). This can be a lot of work. If your site only uses images from Flickr, or you have uploaded all your images to a third party image hosing service, then you will not have any problems and all the images will still work once your site is moved to WordPress.
