Need a good template - blogspot to wordpress

[Jeremy]

So my buddy who sells all kinds of stuff on Ebay has a really shitty blog that I have been telling him for a while that he needs to move to wordpress and get his own domain. Needless to say I finally just registered the domain for him and offered to host it and have a designer do up a header.

Anyone have any suggestions on easy, simple templates that convert blogspots to wordpress nicely. Thanks

As I'll be doing this myself soon, any hints on the process? Does WordPress's built-in importer work fine? "(This is the Blogger Importer available from the WordPress Tools->Import screen. It imports posts, comments, and users from a Blogger site into a WordPress installation.)"

$20 on Fulltilt to anyone that can give some feedback to Self Made and I. LOL

Anyone converted from blogspot to WP?

Last I checked the importer worked fine. Set up a small blog with garbage content and import it to test.

There's no theme that works specifically better for imported blogpost blogs that I'm aware of. You can search and see if there's a WP equivalent of the theme you're using for blogpost, but you're almost certainly fine to just choose whatever theme you want from the free ones.

themeforest (affiliate link) has very affordable themes, with several designed specifically for storefronts like the one you're dealing with. They tend to be very user-friendly and don't ever require the users to touch code to make big changes in design and layout.
