Blogger to wordpress re-write

This may not be the best way to achieve this, but if you have set up some nice permalinks on your wordpress blog and have previously imported your blog from Blogger and want to maintain your links.

I set my permalinks to match my old blogger links i.e year month and blog title first, then I set my apache directory re-write rules as I have described before. Finally I added the following to the re-write

RewriteRule (.*)\.html[\/]?$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [P]

Just above the Rewrite conditions and re-write rule generated by word press. It just means that requests to the old flat HTML postings are properly re-directed to the new permalink postings.
