If you're leaving Evergreen, all blogs will be deleted 60 days from the date that the logins have been disabled. But fear not! You can export your blog entries to a file that can be imported to another blog.

Exporting Your Blog From Wordpress

Figure 1
  1. Login to your blog's dashboard at http://blogs.evergreen.edu/
  2. From the main navigation, select the Tools > Export
  3. Next choose What to export. Select All content and click the Download Export File button to create an XML file for you to save to your computer.

This format will contain your:

  • posts
  • pages
  • comments
  • custom fields
  • categories
  • tags

This format will NOT save any media files including images, video and audio files. You must save those separately.

Once you’ve saved the download file, you can use the Import function on another WordPress blog to import this blog.
