 * Still can’t get Blogger to import right. I’m now 95% sure my file path and archive
   file path are correct. (public_html). I know this because I tried importing it
   but forgot to change the template at first, and it actually did write to my server(
   but with the blogger template in place, which I guess won’t work if you run the
   import script). I went back in and changed the blogger template to the one indicated
   in the Wiki – and now it won’t publish to my ftp. It just keeps saying “publishing
   status…0%” , forever.
    My Blogger blog has about 200 posts , and it’s looking
   like I’m going to have to copy & paste each one manually into WP, one at a time.
   This is hugely time-consuming. Does anybody have any ideas? I’m really at a loss.

 * What exactly is going wrong?
    If you like I can help you with getting this work.
   Leave me a note here, with whatever you have done/tried so far, and I will try
   to help you. Are your ftp username and password correct? Do you have an ftp user
   account setup with your host?

 * I followed the procedures to the best of my understanding.
    I do have an FTP 
   account enabled. I am able to use an FTP program. That is how I uploaded WP. 
   The username and password are correct. However, as the previous query stated,
   when I do the “publish” from Blogger, it begins cycling like it is uploading 
   then restarts back to 0% progress. It is apparently accessing the FTP account,
   because one attempt failed due to my FTP program still accessing the account 
   when I began the “publish” attempt. NO “wordpress.php” or archival filenames 
   appear. I have tried various permutations of the pathnames for the ftp parameters
   in Blogger. Any help is appreciated.

 * The pathname should be relative.
    In fact, you could even contact blogger and
   see if there is a problem they can help you out with.

 * I posted a request for help to Blogger. We’ll see how that goes over…
    When you
   say pathnames should be relative: My ftp account is “mostlycajun.com” I want 
   to put the blog in “mostlycajun.com/wordpress/” So is the ftp path supposed to
   be “wordpress/” ? How about the archive path? I want the archives in the /wordpress/
   directory also. There’s gotta be someting simple I’m trying to make too complicated…

 * There is a blogger faq entry for that :
    [http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=92](http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=92)
   Hope that helps. So yours should be “htdocs/wordpress/” or some such.

 * Thanks. I tried various combinations of the advice given in that FAQ, with still
   no good result. I am waiting to see what blogger has to say. I have over 500 
   posts to import, and I certainly do not wish to do that by cut and paste.
