Great! use Blog This (an free extension for Google Chrome) to move my blogs to blogger from typepad

Moving from typepad to blogger is a good idea for our course blog, but one thing that really annoying is that there seems no way to move our old blogs directly from typepad. I found a good way, at least for Google Chrome browser. Download the free extension Blog This! (link: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/pengoopmcjnbflcjbmoeodbmoflcgjlk), install it to your Chrome. Then open your post in typepad, copy all the contents (including text and pictures). Then click 'blog this' button on your chrome (this will open a new window which is exact the blogger style posting window), past all the content to the new opened window. Click 'publish'. And then, everything is done. Your old post is now posted on your blogger blog, including pictures!

One deficiency is that you can not label the post in Blog This!  you have to edit it back to your blogger blog.

Notice, Blog This! is only for Chrome. Have no idea if there is other versions for IE or other explorer/browser.
