Moving Blogs and Consolidating Blogs

I just moved my blog to a new
blog. Thought I'd share the steps.

The first step is to export the
blog. See the previous post
to learn how to do this.

The next step is to create a new
blog. Under Google's blogger, you
can have more than one blog.

After this, you import your saved
blog at the new blog site.

Here are the steps for importing a blog:

1. Click on Dashboard
2. Click on View Blog
3. Click on Customize
4. Click on Settings
5. Clion on Import Blog

The last step, Import Blog,
brings up a file dialog. Use this
file dialog to find your saved blog
on your hard drive.

What about consolidating blogs? For
example, what if you want 3 blogs to
become 1 single blog?

First, a disclaimer. I've not tried
this. However, it seems obvious to me
that you would follow the following steps.

I'll use consolidating 3-blogs-into-1-blog
as my example:

1. Export all 3 blogs
2. Click on Dashboard
3. Click on Create a Blog
4. Import all 3 blogs into the new blog

To make sure that the above steps are
safe steps, be sure to keep all your
old blogs until you are absolutely sure
that your new blog is just what you want
it to be.

In other words, don't delete the old blogs
until you are sure you have successfully
consolidated the old blogs into a new blog.

Actually, that's a good general principle.
Any time you do computer work, try to give
yourself a fallback position. Saving the
old blogs is your fallback position.

Let yourself err. Give yourself a fallback
position whenever possible.
