For all the Bloggers blogging across multiple platforms viz. WordPress, Movable, Blogger etc. it’s gonna be very easy now to switch their data from one platform to another. Thanks to the new OpenSource project from Google known as the Google Blog Converter, bloggers can use it to move their posts from platform to platform.

Here is the official post announcement of the arrival of the Google Blog Converter 1.0 on the Google OpenSource Blog. Supported platforms are LiveJournal, Movable, Blogger and WordPress. The project will still continue to support more platforms. Google has also released templates for hosting the conversions on the Google App Engine. 

Here are a few examples hosted on the Google App Engine. 

Blogger to WordPress

WordPress to Blogger

LiveJournal to Blogger

However, there is a catch. 

There is a limit to the size of a downloaded file on appspot.com of 1 MB of data. Thus, these hosted applications should only be used for reference or for the conversion of small blog export files. The source code is available . Cheers Bloggers and WordPress Bloggers and the others !
