Transition from Blogger to WordPress

BusinessWorks Blog will be celebrating it's First Birthday on September 24th, 2005. It is already experiencing growing pains. Google's Blogger is my current Blogging Engine and it has served me well, but it lacks a few critical features like Categories, Search facility, trackbacks that a Blog like mine needs.
