Why someone would need to transfer the content and delete old blog – If I am thinking rightly – Can I use this heavily while changing the hosting?? I think so but would need your inputs GObAla.

@ Gary: good question. I think you can actually point your traffic forward via a redirect through htaccess. This would probably be your best bet anyway.

The best thing would be to talk to your host but I really don’t see any other option right now.

For the last few days, I’ve been looking (on and off)
for a way to move one of my blogs from domain.com/blog
to domain.com – without losing the link value of
incoming links.

I get the idea that this method will move the
content but you’d have to deal with the incoming
links via another method such as adding a series of
301 redirects to your htaccess.

Agree/disagree? Is there a better way to achieve
both goals?

TIA
Gary

This is a good outline, and I do applaud Automatic for including the Export/Import functions. However, the file size problem is a big issue … I find no way to adjust this, even tinkering with the code, so it’s useless for anyone with more thna a mini-blog … it seems like such a small extra thing to allow the user to ask for other size limits. The failure to bring along the images is a big issue also … if you have a couple thousand posts with one or more images each you have a big task ahead of you.

Seems like a really fertile field for someone who writes plug-ins … instead of yet another avatar selector or some other window dressing toy, why not a decent export/import function that will actually _move_ a blog, not scattered pieces of it?

Thanks Gobala,

I read this a couple of days too late…I won’t even tell how I just did a transfer!

I have one other blog to do so this little tip will save me a tonne of time, thanks.

@ Gobala: cool, I wasn’t aware of this feature. To be honest I don’t use all features in cpanel and it looks I need to learn some more.
