How do I start
-
What is the procedure for moving my blog? Since I can’t ask or contact wordpress unless my contact info has a wordpress.com name for my blog, how do I get to the page where I enter the name of the blog I want to move from blogger as my new wordpress blog? And what are the steps I follow from there? When I first got to wordpress the new member dialogue box asked me if I wanted a blog address or just a name and since I had no information that would clarify what these choices actually determined, I chose name thinking once I log in as a member I can read their instruction manual and determine what to do next. But this site just like so many other sites that are dominated by the computer trained and HTML knowledgeable doesn’t have an instructional manual or even page. It supplies a forum where the questioner has to search for commentary that might help or post a new question that may get a direct and clear answer or may elicit a series of conversational comments between the cognoscenti. I read several of those posts and except for the attempt to reassure the poster that it would all work out in the end, I found them to be no help BECUASE they were so busy talking about how it was no problem that it appeared that they weren’t taking the time to actually listen to the poster’s question. Here’s mine: I want to move my blospot post to wordpress, how do I do it?

I can’t sign up for a blog because when I enter my name and email address I am told that they are already in use.

well yah, you can’t sign up cause your already here :)
On the front page click register another blog and follow the instructions.

If your user name is already in use, that means you already have an account.
While logged in (if you can post here, that means you’re logged in) revisit http://wordpress.com and click on the link that will say “Create a new blog” or “register a new blog” or something simular.
And drop the rudeness, ok? Do note you’re being rude to the people you’re asking for help from.

Tiamatsdisciple: I can’t because I can’t use my sign in name and email address.
Timethief: I only have one email account. I’d love to register all my blogs at wordpress under one account like I do at blogger now BUT wordpress won’t let me register even one now that I started off by just joining with my name. My dashboard doesn’t have the buttons for moving to wordpress from blogger because I don’t have a blog registered yet. Is this a catch 22 or what?

Here’s the direct link to registering a blog:
http://wordpress.com/signup/If you cannot get this to work, you should probably send an email to support[at]wordpress.com. Include any and all details of error messages and/or problems.
-
You could not be posting here if you had not already registered a username.
Click this link http://wordpress.com
Now look very closely at the page for the phrase Register a blog » click it and you will be on this page http://wordpress.com/signup/
Now complete the fields and register a blog. -
Your ALREADY signed in, you wouldn’t be able to post here if you werent signed in already.
Go back to the main page http://www.wordpress.com just under the foums link there’ a section with your username. Iy says:
Welcome back: Username (inyour case it’ll be rhbee)
Under that is a section called your blogs. If there’s a blog there click and your away.Under that is another link called: Register another blog.
Click that and follow the instructions. If you can’t have a certain username its because someone has already choosen that name. So pick another. When its set up go to the new blogs dash board and choose import, and follow the instructions for how to import from blogger.
-
OK, everybody stop as no one is listening to anyone else.
(Actually tiamatsdisciple just summed it up fine)

I am upset that such a simple process is so complicated. Are you not reading what I said? The log in page wont let me log in with my user name and start a new blog? I am sorry if this sounds rude but I am trying understand why this process that I am asking for help with could be so difficult.
-
Me and rhbee only please.
What are you seeing when you see the front page? What does the new blog link say?
