I've been waiting for this too, but I still can't migrate my account. Shouldn't Google wait until everybody can switch before taking something out of beta? Anybody any idea how long that switching period will last?

keep trying, mine didn't work the first time, then I tried again and it worked but it took a really long time and it actually didn't finish and it said that I would receive an email when it finished. If i try it now it says that it can't migrate because one of my blogs isn't compatible with the new blogger when it should be saying that I can't migrate because I'm already in the process of migrating an account to that email address (which is the message I recieved before)

I've decided not to switch. (Or at least not this year.)

There were some issues when I migrated that still aren't on the Known Issues blog, so I don't know whether they've been fixed yet. The Blogger Team knows about them. They're described here:

http://ruscoe.net/blog/2006/11/migrating-to-blogger-beta.asp

A member of the Blogger team told me that they "don't report tiny stuff on the Known Issues blog" yet they include things like:

<< When using Internet Explorer 7 (RC1), pressing the Enter key does not submit login forms on the new version of Blogger. >>

http://knownissues.blogspot.com/2006/10/when-using-internet-explorer-7-rc1.html

Why not just include everything on that Known Issues blog?

I'm under Firefox / Linux now, and I have a big problem
on my "old" Blogger account, I have 3 blogs. Since today, Zorgloob is in Beta so I can't write on it. There is no link to "migrate" to google account. On the home page of blogger, i have clicked on "connect with google account", I do that. Now I have a "second account", linked to my google account, with no blog handled, and I cant merge my previous blogs :[put at-character here][put at-character here][put at-character here][put at-character here]

So I have 2 accounts (one "new", and the older), and I can't write on Zorgloob :-ß

Maybe you should wait a little bit longer.

Did you see these messages?

I have never seen what saw Mrrx32!
Blogger never suggested me to migrate/merge...

On the homepage there's a button: "Switch now".
You enter your Blogger username/password.
You get: " We are going to upgrade these blogs".
Then: "Choose a Google Account". (first photo from this list: http://blogoscoped.com/forum/80196.html#id80216)

I suppose that from now on you should see the rest of the messages and finally get an email when everything is done. (I don't want to migrate so I don't know.)

Maybe the problem was that Zorgloob is a team blog. Check these:

Well I did the switch a few moments ago and till now it worked perfectly for me now...

The only thing I've noticed until now: I did have to moderate my moderated comments again. Luckily I don't have much of them ;-)

The button "migrate" is now online! At the top of the 1st screenshoot I sent. It seems to work now ;) Seems...

Sorry probably should have said that I saw the button to migrate when I wasn't logged in. Full migration process took me about half an hour, maybe I've got too many Blogs on there? (need to delete some)

3 hours later, the migration isn't finished... I have just a blog without any article, an other already "migrated" (Zorgloob), and the last one with 178 pages (according to google).

Blogger hates me.

4 hours later, it works fine :-)
MMMmmm correction, I hope all works fine...

I got home today to see that my migration had finally processed :) only all of my bloger beta profile information was overwritten by my old profile information (which wasn't filled out for the most part) so I had to re-enter it all
