[GUIDE] Transferring a Blog From Blogspot to WordPress


Blogspot is the domain name associated with Google's Blogger service. If you have a blog with a Blogspot URL, you will need to log into your Blogger account to export it. If you've decided to change blog providers from Blogger to WordPress, you'll want to know how you can safely move your blog from one host to the other, without losing posts or comments. WordPress' import feature enables you to do this, however you must have a Google login for Blogger in order to use this. Once you've imported your posts and comments, redirect readers from your old blog URL to your new WordPress blog.
Step 1
Purchase a domain and find a host. If you don't already have a domain name, buy one from a Web hosting site, such as godaddy.com or bluehost.com. You can also use these sites to host your WordPress blog.
Step 2
Change your WordPress post structure to match your Blogger post structure. Log into your WordPress account, click on "Settings," "Permalinks" then "Custom." Type the following code into the text box: "/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html." This will reduce the number of broken links that exist within the posts on your new blog.
Step 3
Transfer your posts and comments. Log into your WordPress account, click on your "Dashboard" then select "Tools" and "Import." Enter the details for your Blogger account and authorize WordPress to access your Google account if prompted by a popup box. Your posts will then be imported from Blogger into your new WordPress account.
Step 4
Reinsert any pictures you entered into your Blogger posts. WordPress might not import all images you posted on your blog so you might have to go back through your posts and add them manually.
Step 5
Transfer your blog subscribers. Log into your Blogger account, click on "Settings," then "Site Feed" and enter your new FeedBurner address in the box marked "Post Feed Redirect URL." Then, log into your FeedBurner account and click on "Edit Feed Details." Change the address in this box to "http://YOURNEWURL.com/feed/."
Step 6
Change the URL of your blog. Log into your Blogger account, click on "Settings," "Publishing" then "Custom Domain." Type your new blog's URL into the box and click save.
Step 7
Redirect people to your new blog. In your Blogger account, go to "Layout" then "Edit HTML." Paste the following code anywhere after the <header> tags, substituting the words "YOURNEWURL" for the URL of your new WordPress blog: "<meta content='0; url=http://YOURNEWURL.com/' http-equiv='refresh'/>."

The Sims 4" Walkthrough and Guide to Exploring Space

Image
TheSims.com Open spaaaaaaace!  The Sims 4  has some new horizons to explore, and one of them is the infinite majesty of the universe. (Granted, you do so via text boxes, but it’s better than nothing.) It is entirely possible to send your sims up into space on a regular basis, and doing so can yield up some decent rewards… but, at the very least, you’re gonna have to shell out some major dough for the honour. Space exploration requires a rocket, which can be purchased and built for a mighty $6,000 total (assuming you’ve purchased the Steampunk Flyamajig - Astronauts who have specialized may purchase one of two other rockets instead). Each time the rocket crashes, you’ll have to rebuild it for another $1,000, so, yeah. Pricey. Constructing a rocket also unlocks the Rocket Science skill, the levels of which allow your sim to upgrade various parts of the rocket… as well as fly it more capably, resulting in fewer crashes. The upgrade options on your rocket, once your sim reaches le...
