How to Give Away Ideas From Blogger to WordPress
Give away ideas from a Blogger blog to a WordPress blog to give the WordPress blog the look and feel of the Blogger blog. Although not all features and functions of Blogger blogs are directly transferable to WordPress, several customizations to either platform require similar enough modifications that it's possible to come close. Alternatively, it's possible to transfer an entire Blogger blog to WordPress.

Copy HTML code from elements of the Blogger blog directly to WordPress. For example, copy HTML from a sidebar "widget" in Blogger and paste it into a "Text/HTML" widget within the WordPress dashboards. Both Blogger and WordPress interpret simple HTML code the same way.

Apply elements of the Blogger CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) document to the WordPress blog. Select "Edit HTML" within the "Design" tab of Blogger, then copy all or part of the HTML document, which specifies stylistic elements of the blog like fonts, colors and backgrounds. Then, paste it into the "style.css" document within the "Appearance" pane of the WordPress dashboard.

Browse the WordPress selection of templates for those matching the one you currently use on Blogger, if you don't use a custom design. Although Blogger templates aren't fully compatible with WordPress, WordPress allows you to browse templates within the "Appearance" pane by color, features and layout, which lets you narrow the field down to themes that closely match your Blogger theme.

Tips & Warnings
If you want to transfer your entire Blogger blog to WordPress, select the "Export" option within Blogger to download an XML file of the blog to your hard drive. Then, choose "Import" within the "Tools" portion of the WordPress Dashboard and upload the XML file to WordPress to import the intact blog.
Although it is possible to harvest HTML from any website, including a Blogger blog, by right-clicking anywhere on the site and choosing "Inspect Element," you should avoid using this technique to harvest code from any Blogger blog you don't own. While not illegal, it is unethical to steal someone else's work without his permission.
