The "Import" tool in WP states this:
To use this importer, you must have a Google account and an upgraded (New, was Beta) blog hosted on blogspot.com or a custom domain (not FTP).
Uh-oh! I think I have the FTP kind. (Not totally sure as a friend set it up a few years back, but figure that since I can get to it from my FTP program, it is this version).
Can anyone provide pointers on how to get my old stuff moved over?
Thanks!!

I just did this yesterday.
Change your FTP to publish at blogspot.com
Export your blog
Go to blogger2wordpress.appspot.com and convert Blogger xml into WordPress xml
Go to WordPress & import the WordPress xml file
I went through this today.
Unfortunately not all my old blog's comments got transfered across.
It looks like I lost about 10,000 or more comments. Hard to tell.
I think the problem may be with the migration tool on Blogger.
I'm still working on this.
I can't use the XML-WPXML translator because my blog is too large with 1408 posts. The translator simply does nothing. I tested it on a small blog and it does work. I have read that it has a 500 post limit - rather small.
