    My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year
    and am nervous about switching to another platform.

    I have heard good things about blogengine.net.

    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
