Thinkstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images How to Insert a Blog Into Your WordPress Blog Your blog is a repository of valuable information, often accumulated over long periods of time. If moving from Blogger to a new Web host, you’ll want to also move your blog archives in order to integrate posts into your existing website content or make sure that it’s stored in an accessible backup location. Blogger allows you to export your blog as an XML file, which you can subsequently import to your Web host and use as a data source for site content, or simply keep in a backup directory in case you need to restore your blog at a later date. Step 1 Navigate to the Blogger site and log in to your dashboard. Step 2 Locate the name of the blog you wish to export on the Your Blogs main page and click on the dropdown arrow located next to the Post List icon. This will drop down a menu showing all the functions you can perform on the blog. Click on Settings at the bottom of this menu. Alternatively, you can click on the blogs name on the Your Blogs page and choose Settings from the right-hand menu.

Click on the Download Blog button to generate the XML file. There might be a pause here if you have an extremely large blog. Wait until the download pop-up window is displayed on screen. Step 4 Click on the Save button when your download pop up window displays and then click on the OK button to start downloading the XML file to your computer. Step 5 Launch your FTP application to connect to your Web host or its user interface for file transfers. Log in to your chosen application using your Web hosts IP address and your login credentials. Navigate to the destination folder on the Web host by browsing to it in the same way that you would browse for a folder using Windows Explorer on your local computer. Step 6 Copy the XML file you downloaded in Step 4 to your Web host by dragging it from the download folder on your local computer to the destination folder on your Web host, in the same manner that you would perform a drag-and-drop copy action using Windows Explorer or by using the PUT command of the FTP application. If your Web host has given you different file copy instructions, use those instead.
