The latest tips and news from the Blogger team
Your blog, your data
December 10, 2008
Today’s release features a brand new graduate from the Blogger in Draft testing ground:
Import and Export
for Blogger blogs.
The import/export feature opens up a whole new range of portability for your blogs, as well as allows for a few new options in the blog creation process. To get you started, we've rounded up a handful of ideas that can be done with importing and exporting:
Merge two or more blogs into one.
Have a few scattered blogs and want to get a fresh start? Now you can combine comments and posts from multiple blogs into a brand new blog.
Move individual posts from blog to blog.
Cross-publish your posts on multiple blogs, or transfer large batches of posts from one blog to another with a single click.
Back up your blog to your own storage.
It's never a bad idea to create backup copies of your own content, and now you can easily export an archival copy of your blog to your hard drive with a simple tool.
Move your blog somewhere else.
Our standard Atom XML export format will open up new blogging channels between providers, and let you take your content with you should you decide to move somewhere else. And of course, if you decide to come back to Blogger, importing your export file will get you back up and running in seconds.
You can access Import and Export from the
Blog Tools
section on the
Setti
ngs | Basic
tab.
We have also added new importing options to the blog creation process:
For some more detailed info on all of the things you can do with
Import and Export
, please check out our accompanying
help article.
A couple caveats
Currently we only support importing Blogger blogs. We don't yet support importing from WordPress, Typepad, LiveJournal or any other blogging platforms.
Before importing a blog for the first time, we recommend that you create a new, throwaway blog to import into so you get a sense for how the process works. Once you’re comfortable, import into your public blog.
If you have enabled a content warning for your blog, then you will have to remove it before your blog can be exported.
iLike: Add a soundtrack to your blog
December 05, 2008
Sometimes we stumble across gadgets that are just too cool to keep to ourselves. And such is the case with the slick
iLike gadget
, which should be a real treat for all of you Blogger audiophiles out there.
iLike
brings music to your blog by letting you embed and share playlists that you make yourself. Using their simple interface, you can organize and arrange your tunes, then seamlessly integrate them into your blog's sidebar.
To get started, head on over to the
playlist editor
and build up your list of tunes from the iLike database. When you are finished, simply click the orange
'Done!'
button at the bottom of the page, and you will be taken to a preview of what your playlist will look like on Blogger.
If everything looks good, click the orange
'Add to Blogger'
button to go to Blogger's Import Page Element Page (if not already signed in you will be prompted to do so.) Then choose the blog which you want to have the playlist, and click
'Add Widget.'
The iLike gadget will now show up in your blog's page elements editor for you to arrange as you wish. Pretty cool, eh?
Keep in mind though that playlist editor feature of iLike is still technically in beta, so the usual caveats apply. However, if you are feeling extra entrepreneurial you could help out the iLike dev team by answering their
quick survey
