If you need to do heavy re-categorizing or re-tagging your posts, this article will give you the tools and tips to do it with reasonable effort and keep your old backlinks in order while at it.

Blogspot Blog Migration to WordPress

All my old blogspot blogs have been migrated here, into WordPress.org -based self-hosted blog.

All the legacy content is available and redirects are being setup, which should take you to corresponding posts on the new blog.

If you were re-directed to the front page instead of individual page, use the search function on the right, or check the sitemap for the page you were looking for.

If there is any problems, broken links or missing pages, feel free to drop me a line on the contact-page.

For old blogspot readers: update your links, bookmarks and subscribe to the new RSS-feed.
