Migrate
Move from Blogger to Kaleta.
Kaleta imports Blogger’s backup file: posts become news, pages become pages, labels become tags – and every old address such as /2019/05/post.html redirects with a 301. Claude then reworks the pages in your design system as drafts.
Built-in importer
An afternoon for a typical blog
What comes across.
- Posts become news, pages become pages – drafts too, if you want them
- Labels become tags; you choose one category for the posts
- Authors, each mapped to a user you choose
- The featured image of each post, at full size
- Images, downloaded into Media from Blogger’s image servers in one step after the import
- A 301 redirect from every old address – and links on the site that still point to an old address are rewritten
What does not.
- Comments – they are skipped.
- The blog’s settings and template – the look is rebuilt in your design system.
- User accounts – no accounts are created; each author’s posts belong to the user you choose.
Step by step
How the move works.
No command line. Test everything on a subdomain first; the old site keeps running until you switch the domain.
- Export – in Blogger open Settings → Manage blog → Back up content and download the .xml file.
- Upload – in Kaleta open Administration → Import and export → From another system, choose Blogger and upload the file.
- Preview and mapping – the preview counts posts, pages, labels, images and authors and lists what it cannot convert. Under What becomes what you choose what becomes news and pages, the category for the posts, and which user each author’s posts belong to.
- Import – it runs in batches, so it survives the time limits of shared hosting. Then download the images into Media with one button.
- Rebuild with Claude – connect Claude and run the ready-made task migrate_site: it reworks the imported pages in your design system as drafts, and you check the previews.
- Check and switch – run Check the move before going live in Import and export: every old address is checked against the new site. Fix what it finds, publish, and point the domain to Kaleta.
Rebuild with Claude
Let Claude redo the pages.
Connect Claude, give it an old page – its address or saved HTML – and it rebuilds it as a draft from Kaleta sections, in your design system. You review the preview and publish.
How Claude works with KaletaHere is our old Services page. Rebuild it in Kaleta with our colours, keep the texts and redirect the old address.
Done – the Services page is saved as a draft with a 301 redirect from the old address. Here is the preview link.
Keep your rankings
An SEO checklist for the switch.
Redirects do most of the work. These few steps do the rest.
Keep the same domain and switch it over only when the new site is ready
Open your most visited old URLs and check they redirect to the right page
Set titles and descriptions for your main pages
Submit the new sitemap (/sitemap.xml) in Google Search Console
Set the company details – search engines get them as structured data
FAQ
Moving questions.
Does the import change my blog?
No. You only download a backup file; the blog keeps running until you switch over.
My blog is on blogspot.com. Do the redirects help?
Redirects work on your own domain. If the blog ran on a custom domain, point it to Kaleta and every old address keeps working. An address on blogspot.com stays with Google, so Kaleta cannot redirect links to it.
Where do the images come from?
Blogger keeps images on its own image servers, not on the blog’s domain. Kaleta downloads them from there into Media, resized and with thumbnails.
Can I run the import again?
Yes. Kaleta remembers what it already imported and skips it, so nothing is added twice.

Ready to move?
Download Kaleta, install it on a test subdomain and start with one page – about ten minutes to your first preview.
