Written by Jerry . Published on 12 Dec, 2008 . Bloggers using Blogger.com can now back up and restore their blog in just a few clicks with the long-waited ‘Import/Export’ features being released recently. The function, located under Setting > Basic > Blog Tools, is officially released in December 10th, 2008.
I have yet to tried on the function myself but according to the officials, exported data files are in Atom XML format, which will open up new blogging channels between providers. Right now there’s still no specified platform (say exporting Blogger blogs to WordPress) being served but I suspect the function will be coming up very very soon. (Uh, that means I’ll need to re-write my blog transfer guides soon!)
As mentioned in Google’s latest buzz release, this Blogger Import/Export function comes handy when you need to migrate your blog from one to the other. The feature is also most welcomed by bloggers who wish to backup or merge their Blogger blogs. The function seems pretty easy to use but in case you need guides, Google’s help file is the answer: How do I import and export blogs on Blogger?.
For those who’re wish not to use a free blog provider, consider getting a budget hosting for your blog! Hosting nowadays is unbelievably cheap and easy to be maintained. To get started, I suggest readings on my Web Hosting Reviews.
