Wordpress has advantages over Blogger for a variety of reasons. Doing a conversion from Blogger to WordPress may be tedious depending on how many posts need to be converted, but it just may be worth the work.

On Blogger, should your account accidentally get wiped out there is no way to recover it. The database to recreate those pages is gone even if you publish posts to your own site because it lives on Blogger’s servers and you’ll have to recreate the content manually.

When it comes to administration and customization, WordPress offers a lot more flexibility over Blogger. WordPress supports open source modification of the core files, categories instead of labels, and WordPress plugins for even more features.

Another key advantage of WordPress is the ability to have categories, the same way you have labels in Blogger. This way you can sort your blog posts efficiently and organize them by topic.

Should you consider keeping your blog for the long term, WordPress is a better choice, and since WordPress is hosted on your own account, you regulate your growth and expansion over time. Sure, Blogger is much easier to use, but it’s good to learn how to use WordPress to it’s full potential.

Moving the existing blog to WordPress provides ease of use and near perfect xhtml code quality, plus optional plugins that were easy to install for added functions of social bookmarks, seo automation, and automatic database backup operation. While Blogger is fine, and my choice for a blog platform, WordPress is considered superior especially for site owners without advanced technical skills.
