    • There isn’t an actual function to reblog to Blogger to WordPress, so I did it manually. I just started a new post on WordPress and typed “Reblog” in the title. Then I copied a snippet of my original post on Blogger and added a link at the bottom of the post so the reader could be directed back to the blogger post. If you want to reblog, feel free to copy my post here on WordPress and paste it on your own blog. Just be sure to copy the link that directs the reader to Blogger.
