As you may have read <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.agm.me.uk\/blog\/2010\/02\/my-blog-will-be-moving.php\">I am having to move my blog<\/a> because Blogger is removing it&#8217;s publish by FTP feature.<\/p>\n<p>When you first try and migrate your posts it will fail. After a bit of head scratching I realised that this was because the <a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Importing_Content#Blogger\">WordPress &#8220;import&#8221;<\/a> migration relies on the blog being hosted on a &#8220;blogspot.com&#8221; address and not on a custom domain. You can easily change this temporarily without affecting your current blog. Just clock the appropriate option under &#8220;Publishing&#8221; from the blog&#8217;s &#8220;Settings&#8221; tab.<\/p>\n<p>If you then want to edit your old template to redirect the old URLs to the new ones, or are just testing the migration process, you will need to switch back to FTP. This would not be a problem if Blogger had not removed the FTP option already, but they have, so it is. Fortunately the feature is still active and it is just the link that has been removed.<\/p>\n<p>So, to switch back now you need to look at the address of the page when you are creating a post or editing blogger settings. Make a note of the &#8220;blogID&#8221; from the line. Then paste the following in the address bar replacing XXXXXXXX with the blogID value.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/blog-publishing.g?blogID=XXXXXXXX&#038;publishMode=PUBLISH_MODE_FTP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can then check all the details, enter the captcha, and save the setting to get back to where you were before. I hope this is of help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog post might be of use to you if you, like me, you are migrating your Blogger blog to WordPress.
