In the top right of this webpage you may see a small box with a button next to it.
The button says "Search"
We call this a "search form".

Type some words into it, eg "Wordpress to Drupal" then click the button (usually one firm press on your left mouse button does it, but your system may differ)

You may find yourself at a confusing page that looks like this
Result 1 gives you a long discussion on all the issues, advice (and solutions) people have identified with converting from wordpress to drupal.
Reading a bit harder, you will find there is a module called "Wordpress Import" which, surprisingly enough, is designed to ... import from Wordpress.

Yeah, I know this internet thing is confusing sometimes, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually.

Good luck!

There's a useful hand book page called:

migrating from wordpress which might be worth looking at as a starting point. There are a lot of discussions on the forum about migrating from wordpress, so, like the other poster mentioned, it's worth searching.

Worth noting that the Wordpress import module just allows you to import your wordpress blog only...it doesn't allow you to import other wordpress content.

As I say, check out the handbook page as a starting point. Disregard the other posters sarcasm...the drupal.org support forum is very good, but it's worth searching first, before posting a question.

best of luck and welcome to Drupal
