Ok! So you have a Wordpress Blog and would like to import it into a Blogger account. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, Yes and No. If you have a small Wordpress export file, less than 1 MB, it's real simple.
Export your Wordpress by going to Tools -> Export in your Admin Panel at your Wordpress blog. I saved All content in the Export area. Then, take your saved file and go to the Wordpress to Blooger app and upload your file. There is a maximum size of 1 MB allowed. Although, I read some people were able to use it successfully when their file was between 1 and 2 MBs.
After, you download your now converted file, log into your Blogger account or create a new one. Then go to Settings -> Import Blog and upload your converted file. You should now have all posts, comments, and pages.
But my Wordpress file is much larger than 1 MB
So you have the same problem I had. Well, there is a solution. My database was nearly 50 MBs. I used a news fetching feeder plugin the updated the site once daily. I had over 21,000 posts. I could of used a text editor and cut down the file manually about 50 times, but I had better things to do. After searching Google, I finally came across a cool little app that was free and did only one thing and only the one thing I wanted. It allowed me to import and XML file. That is the type of file you exported from Wordress and then specify how big of a file I wanted it split into. I selected 1 MB and hit the Split Files button. Now, I had the right file size to upload over at the Wordpress to Blogger App site.
Now of course I had to do this about 50 times and then proceed to upload the files about 50 times to Blogger, but that is my dilemma due to the number of posts. Of course, now I have all my content still on the web with no hosting or domain fees anymore.
