In part one, I discussed about the requirements and things you need to consider before taking the plunge. If you’ve pretty much got the general idea and are ready to go ahead, let’s move on.

I have broken down the whole process into six stages:

1. Preparing your web host and database
2. Downloading, configuring and uploading WordPress
3. Exporting all your comments from Haloscan and uploading them
4. Importing from Blogger
5. Importing from Haloscan
6. Tidying up

Don’t worry if anything from the above scares you. I will go through each stage in detail below:

I recently migrated one of my blogs from Blogger, along with all my comments from Haloscan, to WordPress 2.0. It took me a couple of days of research before finally understanding what was needed to accomplish this. Once everything was already in place, it only took a few minutes to move everything across.

WordPress itself is extremely easy to install. If you don’t believe me, have a look at their Famous 5-Minute Install page.
