To move or not to move?

Not really a blog as such, but I’d appreciate some advice.

I was wondering about copying my archived stuff from MyT to wordpress.

Have any of you done this?

If so, how easy is it?

Thanks in advance

  1. Hello Isobel

    It makes absolute sense to copy or back-up material that you don’t want to lose either to your computer or elsewhere.

    HMB wrote an excellent tutorial for Sabina here, personally, I couldn’t care less, those clowns in London can do what they want with my stuff, I’ve kept the important bits and can easily recreate the others!

    Hope this helps.

  3. Ferret is transferring all his MyT goodies into his WordPress site, but it is a pain. I’ve just copied a few of mine and have given up!

    I don’t think it is the blogs themselves that are important, well in my case, but the comments. I usually compose most of my blogs in Word anyway before I then copy and paste them into Notepad, before then copying them to MyT. I have copied a few, with the comments as well and saved them at HTML files, onto my PC. This is easy, but they are quite big files.

  4. Thanks Araminta. I often write straight into the blog and there are a few I’d like to keep. If I store them on my USB and keep a back-up copy here with luck I’ll always be able to find them.

    Just posted Sicilian Holiday (3) on my page…

  7. Oh Do Not talk to me about this.

    What a complete and utter ball ache. I can recommend the most excellent guide posted by HMB, and linked above but even with it, the process is lengthy. I have over 40 pages of blogs dating back to Jul 2007, MyT tosspots have lost the comments on most of them, which to me were the most important part. So I reckon 150 or so blogs to move.
