Exporting blogger posts to wordpress & new host

Hi all maybe you can help me!

Basically I'm using blogger but I have my own custom domain name. But I want to transfer my blogger blog (http://www.sellyourmobile.info/) and it's posts to a wordpress installation on my own hosting accout I have so I can get access to it via FTP and ultimately get more control.

I have 2 hosting accounts for 2 other sites I have but was just wondering how you go about hosting 2 sites from 1 hosting account by using an add-on domain. Just asked my host so will see what they say but wondering if anyone can shed some light on how you go about that. Would I need to cancel it from within blogger Settings/Publising first and then create the add-on domain from my other sites hosting cpanel and enter the nameservers in there also?

It says "An addon domain allows you to reach a sub-domain when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser. This means that you can host additional domains from your account, if allowed by your hosting provider. Addon Domains are relative to your account's home directory." Does that mean it will be a subfolder of the /html folder on the webserver.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks man. Looks pretty involved. Will have to get around to trying it out. My host installed an add-on domain for me but I've still yet to do this. I need to do it because my site has too many validation errors at the moment and I know for sure I can clean that up with a fresh wordpress template. But also it will be better for many SEO reasons as well.

Alright man, sounds good! ;)

Let me know if it works when you get around to it.
