    you might have already figured it out or moved on… BUT for anyone just visiting:
    I had the same problem and followed this advice to solve it.

    #1 if you have an FTP blogger blog switch it to blogspot (do this inside of blogger –>”publishing” tab)

    2)go to wordpress.com and create a wordpress.com hosted blog.

    3) import your blogger.com blog to wordpress.com

    4)Once this is done, export the wordpress.com blog (in dashboard –>”manage” –export)

    5) Finally, in your self-hosted wordpress site import the wordpress.com blog.

    NOTE: if it gives you an error about you wp-content/uploads folder, you may get around it by changing the permissions on that folder to 777.

    Hope this helps
