You’ve worked so hard over the past semester – don’t let that content just disappear!

I’ve created a quick screenshot tutorial for how you can go about moving your blog.

Your Toolbox

In your Dashboard, scroll down a bit until you see the “Tools” section on the left-hand side. Click on this to expand your options and you’ll now see “Import” and “Export” listed. Go ahead and click on “Export.”

Exporting for Future Use

It’s pretty simple. If you have multiple authors on your blog – which you might if it was a group blog – choose a particular author or all authors for whose content you want to export. Then, simply click “Download Export File.”

Bam! You’ve got an Archived Copy of your Blog

Told you it was simple Keep this file in a safe place. It’s what you’ll need later on.

Time to Import

You’ve registered a new account at here, right? If not, do so! and be sure to check “Yes, I’d like to create a new blog.”

Once you’re all set with your account and blog, login and go to “Tools” and “Import” in your new blog. Then, choose “WordPress” at the bottom of the options.

Still have that File?

Browse to that archived file of your old blog and then choose “Upload file and import.” Once you’ve done this you’ll have all your content back up and ready!*

* Saw that Asterisk, did you?

This isn’t an exact replica of your old site. It is your content (posts, pages, links, media uploads) but not your theme (the fancy design). You’ll have to either choose the same theme again.
