For those who, like me, were struggling to figure out how to import from Wordpress to Blogger - the tool you want is called Blogsync GUI and it's available here: http://zeaster.blogspot.com/2007/02/blogsync-with-gui-coming-import-your.html
The only problems with it are:
- Ability to import the author of each post. So right now I appear to be claiming credit for all of MG's posts. I will be fixing this very shortly.
- No way to import comments. Luckily there aren't many (well, since I got rid of the 100,000 or so spams I had on Wordpress) so hopefully there will be some way to do them by hand.
UPDATE: comments are now imported. They didn't keep their time stamps, so I put those in by hand.

I've heard from a lot of people moving to Wordpress. I'm sure it's a fine service, but I'm staying with Blogger for one reason -- it's owned and operated by Google. What happens if Wordpress goes out of business? Google, on the other hand, will be around for a long time, probably too long.
Indeed, I'm very much a fan of "letting someone else worry about it" these days. My primary reason is the cat-and-mouse game with spammers: Wordpress needs to be upgraded often to keep ahead of the spammers. With Blogger you can let Google worry about it.
The only thing I don't like is the lack of backup feature (unless I'm missing something). Ever since trusting Plus.net (*spit*) look after my emails, I don't quite trust online services to keep backups any more.
