Sorry if I missed this somewhere else, but I could use some help. How do I marry a blogger.com blog and a WP blog template and make the two one?

I have a blogger.com blog.
I have a domain.
I figured out how to put a WP theme on my domain.
Now what?

How do I transfer the blog to my WP blog on my own domain? Seriously, just thinking about doing it, gives me a head ache and I find it difficult to breath! If you can help me, I would need VERY easy to follow instructions. How much work will be involved once its transfered?

Thank you!
 


Jan: I have tried this before and I ended up pulling out my hair since it's pretty much impossible to seamlessly migrate from blogger to wordpress.
There is a huge bug as well - which I must point out - in that blogger completely fucks up if you try to use the import option in wordpress.

Best idea is to just cut your losses and start fresh. I've managed and doing 1000 times better.
 
I don't have that much to transfer over, might just copy and paste the posts. I pull out my hair anyways with simple stuff so I might not spend time trying. I will check out that visual tutorial suggestion from JDA before I decide, I'm a visual learner which is probably why I have so much trouble trying to read stuff and then trying to implement! Thank you both.

The trouble now is, I got the domain on my hosting manager. I thought I was OK, then this morning I when I went to my fantastico e-mail re: my WP instalation it couldn't find the server. Everything is fine on my other domain (the main one on my re-seller account). I'm such a noob I don't know how to find out the name of the server that it can't find. On my domain manager I have the same servers as the one on the domain (main) that works.
