  How to duplicate one of my blog to another wordpress blog. I want to use a copy of my current blog to explore different themes, settings etc. I want to keep using my current blog but a copy of it will help me explore and try different design, fonts etc.
  Blog url: http://seattlewatch.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You register another blog and set the privacy settings to private. Then you export the content out of the main blog and import it inot your private “mirror blog”.

  I know it will work as I’ve done it myself more than once. See > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/05/19/how-to-select-a-wordpress-com-theme-part-1/ and scroll down to “Creating a mirror blog”.
