  Also because this frequently comes up when bloggers arrive from blogspot please note of the advertising restrictions at wordpress.com http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/
  In addition also note that the TOS you agreed to to get a blog here (Section 2, 5th bullet) makes it clear that wordpress.com blogs cannot be used to drive traffic to third party sites. http://wordpress.com/tos/

  If you want a monetized blog and you expect to be able to hack your template then downloading software from wordpress.org is the way to go. You can confirm this by reading the “Please read me first before posting” sticky post at the head of the forum. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=3700

  HTH :)

  Thank you for your help!
  I have another question about If I update my blogger content how can I update my blog in the wordpress? I mean that the wordpress can update automatically when I login or I need to import the content again?
  Any idea?

  I’m not sure what you mean. If you mean that you want to post to two blogs one on Blogger and one on wordpress.com simultaneously then this can be done by using an off-line blog editor like BlogDesk or Windows Live Writer. However, do be aware that Technorati will not give two blogs with identical contents rankings and why should they? That’s the game sploggers play. Also note that Google likewise frowns on this practice.

  Try doing all this early morning U.S. time when traffic is usually slower.

  I just attempted to import my journal from blogger.com and only managed to get 4 out of the 20 post I had. I tried it 2 or 3 times with the same results. why?
  Also, if I can’t successfully do that I could just copy the posts over. But can I manually edit the post dates to reflect the original post dates? Thanks!!

  Easy to edit the post dates. On the Write page, on the right-hand side you can set the post date and time to anything you like. Remember that our default is GMT though.
