In this post I am going to describe how to move your blog from one platform to another. Since there are many famous platforms that offer various kind of user experience, it is more tend to keep several blogs in different platforms that has the same content. To synchronize these blogs we have to have some kind of automation.


Blogspot powered by google has functionality that support Wordpress but not Tumblr. In the other hand Tumblr support both Wordpress and Blogspot. Also Wordpress support backs both Tumblr and Wordpress.

First convert your Tumblr into Wordpress format by using the tool given in section 2. This will download a XML file into your computer which is in Wordpress format. Now using the tool given in section 3 convert the downloaded xml file into Blogspot fomrat and save the XML file. Go to settings>import and import the downloaded XML file.
