Moving from Yahoo 360 to Blogger

Because Yahoo 360 is closing soon, and their new blog system does not allow mature content, my full 360 has now been moved over to blogger. You can see it at http://aosblogger.blogspot.com/ (here).

I wouldn't call this move easy, but it is somewhat automated. Just export your 360 into a file and then import that file into a new wordpress.com account. Once that is done you can export your wordpress blog into an .xml file. Take that and run it through http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/ in order to make a file which is suitable to import to blogger. On your blogger.com account you'll find the import option on the settings page. Please note that the final step, the actual blogger import, often fails. I had to try 10 times or so before it actually worked. Also note that any blog images that appear on your blogger page will still be hosted from wordpress and not from blogger, so keep that wordpress account open.
