Importing and Exporting Weblog Data
Importing a 0.9.x version Weblog
In the previous version each blog had its own separate database. In
v1.0 each blog shares a single database thereby allowing you to work
with multiple weblogs simultaniously. You, therefore, have to import
your 0.9.x version weblog into the new v1.0 database.
To import your v0.9.x blog into the new version do the following…
- Open the “Import 0.9.x Weblog “ dialog (File » Import
» Import 0.9.x Weblog…)
- Click the browse button and open the “blog.dat” file of your
weblog
- Click the import button to copy your blog data into the new
database
- Close the Import dialog
Your weblog has now been imported into the new database and you should
be set.
Importing Entries from a Feed
Thingamablog allows you to import entries into a weblog from an
RSS or Atom feed. The feed can either be local, or on the internet.
To import entries into a weblog do the following...
- Open the "Import from Feed" dialog (File » Import »
Import from Feed)
- Enter the URL, or click the browse button to choose a local feed.
- Click The Import button.
If the feed was valid, the entries from the feed are now a part of the
weblog.
Exporting a Weblog to a Feed
In addition to importing weblog data, you can also export your weblogs
to an RSS 2.0 Feed.
- Open the "Export Weblog to Feed" dialog (File » Export
» Export Weblog to Feed)
- Select the location where you want to save the feed to
- Click the save button.
