I didn't mention that because it doesn't happen!
If your existing posts disappeared, it's because you have made a mistake.

When importing part of the content, or all content, from an XML file, it is just 'added' to what's already there. You also have the choice to select which posts on the XML file you wish to add, then delete others - on the Post Editor, Imported Posts.

I'm sorry, but if your existing posts disappeared, or have been deleted, it is not because of the Import / Export function.

Hi
Unfortunately you don't mention that importing blog posts *erases* all existing posts on the blog (in your example Blog B).

my husband and i contribute to two blogs, one is our own and the other is with the extended family. both are on blogger. if i want to publish the same post on both blogs, i just open up the post (as if to edit it) select all (command 'a' on macs) and copy (command 'c'), then create a new post on the other blog and paste right into it (command 'v'). i'm guessing this wouldn't work between two different blog hosts?
i didn't know that you could backup the whole blog onto your computer, though. that's fantastic! thanks!

Hi miawru
As far as I know, ther are many blog platforms which are not able to be imported, as yet.
All I can tell you is that if you can export your blog, as an xml file, and store that file on your computer, then it may be able to be imported to Blogger.
see: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=97416

The crucial part is the xml file.

Hi gonzela 2006
I haven't heard of any particular problems or limits with the amount of posts, though I have been sick for three months and not blogging at all.
I suggest you may be doing something wrong. Go back to basics - export the XML file as I describe above, then Import it to a Test Blog (which everyone should have) and see what's what there.
Also, look at Blogger in Draft blog : http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/2008/11/help-us-test-import-and-export.html
Good luck.

Hi SonDan

Thank you. You'll have to Import the whole XML file and then choose which posts you want to add. Then, unfortunately, delete the ones you don't want, one by one.

2008-12-03T13:06:00.000+11:00

Hello,

Very informative post. Thank You.

I have a question though. If I have already imported an XLM file into a new blog and then find later there are a few (3 or 4 ) additional posts that have been made and need to be exported -- could I just create a new XLM file and import if over top of the other one? Would this add the new posts and not duplicate the others?

Please advise.

Thank You for your time.

Hi Tessa!
Glad everything went OK. Yes, HTTrack is a wonderful package.

I will most certainly look at your new blog. My opinion of it, however, won't be as important as yours. That's one of the great things about Blogging.

Cheers!

2008-11-26T18:52:00.000+11:00

Thanks so much for all your help the other day Roberto! You were a big help to me- know it is much appreciated! I really like the HTTrack (but then you knew i would). Hey, when I change my blog over, and have my 'winter' layout ready, wanna give me your opinion? I'd love to hear it.

Thanks again and happy blogging!

Tessa

2008-11-08T10:30:00.000+11:00

Hi whiddy!
The URL of your posts you say are high-ranking, will stay the same - if those posts remain on that blog. If you move the posts to another blog, Blogger or another, they will change to the blog name you move them to, otherwise no-one could find them.
If you wish to preserve the links, then maintain the Blogger blog you have... or, you maybe able to maintain your Blogger blog, and seek advice on a 're-direct'. I am unfamiliar with that, though.

2008-11-08T09:59:00.000+11:00

Hi, thanks for your helpful post. You mentioned urls don't move--we are migrating our blog to a new system (not blogger) and are trying to figure out options for preserving the links to a few high-ranking posts. Are there any solutions, even low-tech ones?
