Blogger to WordPress 1.5.2
Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.
Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages alive—and it's interesting to see how I've changed.

I assume you have a Netfirms account, and I used to publish a blog to it using Blogger.com. Then Blogger stopped publishing to Netfirms for some FTP-negotiation reason (“Broken Pipe 001”). I wanted to use some blogging software on my Netfirms account, but my account didn’t include any MySQL databases. The solution I worked out temporarily involved coordinating the look and feel of my site and my blog using CSS.
Today Netfirms sent me a notice that they had upgraded all the posts to them. If a new level 1 author shows up in the authors & users list, this may create another user and assign all the plans — and mine now includes MySQL. Hooray! (Update: I have a Netfirms account, and I used to publish a blog to it using Blogger.com blog, a server with a new or in-use WordPress installation, and FTP access to the server. Since you’re reading this post, I also assume that Blogger’s FTP publishing is not working for you.
