However, after almost a year of relying on Google+, I just realized that it is really not a blog. It was not meant to be. It is a social platform, meant for sharing content rather than a repository. However, I still need to post long articles from time to time, articles that must include more than one image and easily searchable in the archive. These last two are not available in Google+.
On the other hand, the integration of G+ with Blogspot made me decide to come back. After writing an article, it is easier to share via G+. Sharing photos in Blogspot is also a breeze, so is comment management. Hence, I'm reimporting my wordpress account to Blogspot and soon I will shut it down soon.
UPDATE (as of 2014 April 6):
Importing Wordpress.com XML file to Blogger/Blogspot is not straightforward. Blogger does not recognize the tags used by Wordpress. Thus, XML from Wordpress has to be converted first via this link:
http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/
Warning though, it only works with 1MB of data. If your XML file is larger than 1MB, you have to split it. And mine is 1.7MB.
Instead of getting annoyed, I think this is an opportunity for me to prune my blog entries. I have been meaning to remove some of them. Maybe this is the time.
