I could be wrong, but I have never seen anything that would convert a blogger theme to wordpress. They are 2 completely different platforms.


You can however, import your posts and content from a blogger blog to a wordpress blog, and I am sure that you can find or customize a wordpress template to look almost identical, or better than your current blogger template.

from wordpress you can import your blogger blog posts and contents. but the widgets is not acceptable when you import it to blogger. I have tried it already.

You would have to export you're Blogger content (which are stored in a database), to an xml or mysql file (I think blogspot offers an option to do so). Next you'd have to code your template to work with Wordpress.
When that is done you import the exported xml or mysql into you're wordpress database (you can do this trough the wordpress admin panel), and you're set to blog again.

Yes, if you're changing the blogger template to a wordpress theme, you'll have to recode the entire thing. Check out the wordpress codex on how to design a theme.

There's a lot more work involved than just coding one page, by the way.

Wordpress has a new feature called Google APIs new importer. It can works without modifying the new blogger blog and then you can copy your posts, comments and categories from Blogger into Wordpress
Or you may click this link.

Have you tried? Does this also import template or theme as well? Or just posts?

thanks
