The import and export features on Blogger give your content a whole new range of portability and freedom, allowing you to create copies of your own blogs as well as import them into other existing ones. Best of all-we've made this a very simple process!
Import as a New Blog
To import content as a brand new blog, click
Create a Blog from your dashboard.
Then under
Advanced Options, click the
Import Blog Tool
Finally, choose the Blogger export file (.xml) from your hard drive and fill out the word verification. Click the
Upload arrow and your new blog will be created instantly!
Import Into an Existing Blog
To import posts and comments into an already existing blog, start by clicking
Import Blog from the existing blog's
Settings | Basic tab.
Note: Your template will not be affected by the imported content.Next, choose a Blogger export file (.xml) from your hard drive and fill out the word verification beneath. By default, all of your imported posts will remain unpublished until you publish them from your dashboard later. However, if you would rather have all posts published immediately, make sure to check the box next to
Automatically publish all imported posts before you click
Import Blog.
If you did not choose to have your posts publish automatically, you will need to manually publish them from the
Posting | Edit Posts tab before they will appear on the web. You can either publish all the posts at once by clicking
Publish all imported posts, or publish individual posts by selecting them and then clicking
Publish Selected.
Exporting Your blog
To export your blog, simply click Export Blog from the
Settings | Basic tab.
Finally, click the
Export Blog button. You blog will be stored as a Blogger export file (.xml) file which can be kept as a backup on your hard drive or imported into another blog.
