Importing Tumblr Blogs to Blogger


I used to use Tumblr as my medium for blogging, but found out that Tumblr is not a good platform for my blogging needs. Of course, that is after I discovered this Google Blogger, and I like a lot more than Tumblr.

Importing over
However, I already have some blogs on tumblr that I would really like to import over to blogger, and I certainly didn't want to manually create one after another and having the dates out of place.

Googling
Therefore I googled up "How to import tumblr blogs to blogger" and one of the answer that popped up was "How do I move my blog and all its content from tumblr to blogger?", it described to me the steps I needed to take to import my tumblr blogs to blogger.

Steps to Import Blogs
Unfortunately, there is no direct way to import my tumblr blogs into blogger.
1. First, I had to export my tumblr blogs to a wordpress compatible xml, using this link
          tumblr2wordpress
then of course I downloaded the generated wordpress compatible xml file

2. Secondly, I had to import the XML file to the wordpress2blogger using this link
            wordpress2blogger
which then generated another XML file, but this one was Blogger compatible.

3. Thirdly, what I had to do was log into my blogger and then went to Settings->Other, and at the top there is a Blog Tools which has Import, Export, Delete Blog. Clicked on Import blog and chose the Blogger compatible XML file.
BOOM! My tumblr blogs are now imported to my blogger blog.

  1. Tumblr is not a place for your newsletters to be presented or where you shamelessly promote your products or services. You are promoting a lifestyle. You are promoting links and visual content such as videos, gifs, audio clips and images that will interest your audience.
