Import Blogger to WordPress error
If you have tried to import a blog from Blogger to WordPress 2.2 you may have been frustrated by an error. The system just returns a message that it can not login to your Blogger account. There is a very simple fix for this error that requires a one character change in the wp-admin/import/blogger.php file.
On or around line 84 there is a reference to www2.blogger.com, change this to www.blogger.com and the import should work.
I have done several imports from Blogger to WordPress and the system has been working great.

Shazza, This was written for WordPress 2.2, what version are you currently running?
am running the same i think 2.0.2 -
am not much of a geek… that might be the issue
Shazza, I would recommend updating your WordPress to Version 2.3 and then the new import system works great.
