I managed my old blog with Blogger but the FTP deployment process was kind-of-a pain. Google agreed and stopped supporting it. At the time, I was going to switch to a .NET blog solution, but I didn't love any of the options out there and was too lazy to copy over the old posts manually. Additionally, Twitter was gaining momentum and seemed to fit with the limited amount I had to say.
After a while I started having ideas for longer posts and wanted to put them on the blog, but I felt I had to upgrade first. Needless to say that didn't happen.
When BlogEngine.Net came along I wanted to import my posts with their BlogML import helper but for some reason I couldn't get it working. Recently, I tried it again and the current version (1.6.1) worked like a charm. I have all my old posts and I am ready to put up some content.
I'd like to thank Aaron Lerch for his PowerShell script which I used to extract my BlogML from Blogger.

The PowerShell script relies on the blogML .NET library which can be downloaded from Codeplex.
