My Interesting Files problem fixed!

I’m so glad that My Interesting Files problem is fixed already. Thank’s to Rahul from Devil Workshop who had been so patient helping me to fix it. He’s a very nice guy. Since my knowledge so limited, I gave him access to my cPanel, Wordpress and Blogger account so he could check for the problem. And it took only about one hour or two until he managed to fix it. We did our conversation by IM. He’s friendly, polite and very humble. It was nice chatting with him.
According to Rahul, the transfer team from my hosting company transfered content via FTP, so old content was being served from normal URLs, and Wordpress never queries for them. So he moved them into one folder under My Interesting Files directory, changed few settings at Blogger, changed slug of a post at Wordpress, and renamed a file on my server. And after that, everything is fixed! 
One lesson that I learn from this. Although they labeled themself as a Transfer Team, doesn’t mean they totally understand about transfer. Especially when it’s about transferring from Blogger to Wordpress which I think it’s very common in this blogsphere. One of their answer that I think is so silly was “Please note since the posts you have imported are the old ones it is normal for it display the old contents”. 
If you are planning to transfer your site, it’s advisable that you do it yourself. It gives you the opportunity to experience and enrich your knowledge. Go search for a guide. There are many websites that had posts about step by step of transferring your site. Leave a comment in their post if you have questions, I’m sure most of them will help you.
I also wish to thank Mig from Pamil Vision and Bobby from Revellian who have earnestly tried to help me with the process, making it less stressful for certain. A zillion thanks, guys.

I am so glad that the issue was solved, Dunn. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful - going out of the town in such a rush left me with a lot of business unfinished back then. I felt really guilty for letting you down, but I see that things worked out for the best. Soon you’ll be able to push this blog to the popularity of your other 2 (at least 2 I know of) and that’s awesome! Keep up the good work and see you at the top!

No worries, Mig. I understand. I’m the one who should be thankful that I have friends like you who’s willing to help me.
I have noticed the number 1 problem people have when switching hosts with a wordpress blog is the difference in PHP and MySQL versions your old and new host is using. The MySQL database is usually the problem - simply run phpmyadmin and convert to the proper database version. This is what has fixed a lot of my clients databases.
