  When I import by blogger blog into WordPress, many errors ensue of words that become combined. For example, “the one that” becomes “theone that” etc.

  Did this happen with all of your posts, or only a few?

  Can you also let me know if you have any original posts on your current WordPress.com site or if they’re all imported from Blogger?

  The problems seem to be inconsistent.

  There are three different problems it seems that have happened during the import process:

  Words being combined (as described earlier)
  Multiple font sizes even though the original has consistent font sizes
  Paragraph breaks missing

  Here you can see side-by-side an original entry in blogger and the imported version in wordpress:

  There are no original wordpress entries in the wordpress site. All have been imported from Blogger.

  In that case, I’d like to empty out your blog and try the import again.

  Were you using the direct import, or did you upload an export file?

  I did a direct import through the utility in the wordpress dashboard.

  Good luck.

  thanks,

  Alright, I have emptied your blog. Please feel free to try importing again.

  If that doesn’t work, we’ll try the export file method next.
