    • ]]>     It was just a few months ago that I have decided to develop my own website. I decided to use Drupal for this to be able to exhaust Drupal’s full capability as a Content Management System. Since I already of an existing Domain Name and blog account in Blogspot (or Blogger), I wanted to migrate my blog entries from Blogspot to Drupal. So far, I haven’t found a direct and straightforward solution to this but I have discovered another way. This involves only a few clicks and soon enough you’ll just realize, the migration is complete. Also note that this is only applicable to Drupal version 5.x. Here are the things/installations that you will be needing:

    1. A Blogger/Blogspot blog site (of course, where will get your data if you have none)
    2. Drupal site (a local site will do)
    3. WordPress blog account (this will be our bridge)
    4. Some Drupal modules. All available at the Drupal Modules download section.

    And here are the steps:

    1. Prepare and setup your Drupal locally.
    2. If you have an existing WordPress account (the free account will do), this has an import feature that allows you to migrate your Blogspot blog entries to WordPress.
    3. After importing has completed and now that your Blogspot blogs are in your WordPress, you can proceed by exporting your WordPress blog entries (that was previously blogspot entires). Again, WordPress has another Export feature included for you to be able to do this. WordPress allows you to export your entries to an XML file.
    4. Next, you need to download and install into your prepared Drupal site the WordPress Import Module. Go to your Drupal Adminstration section and select on the WordPress Import, select the exported XML file and proceed with the import. Click on your drupal blog section and there you have your Blogspot imported to Drupal.

    I hope this tutorial is useful for you. This solution worked for me and I hope it would work for you too.
