Glad to see my blog transfer to Blogger went smoothly

I used to host my blogs on my own website. However, I got tired of maintaining all the updates, plugins, and so on. That even made me stopped blogging for a while.

Like what happened to my self-hosted photo gallery (moved to Flickr), I decide to transfer my blogs to Blogger. If you ask why not WordPress? I have to say it's just a decision.

Only one problem in this process is Blogger can officially only import its own backups, while my old blog server uses WordPress. After some reading and testing, I chose a open source tool Blog2Blog, which works like a charm. Very glad to get the whole migration done smoothly.
