  Hi,
  is there anyway I could download my posts? Cause I write articles and sometimes need a copy on my desktop in any format…Cause if by mistake i delete them on blog I could always repost them.

  I tried the Export option in the Manage tab but i get no file to download..strange

  please help..all i need is saving my posts content.. not interested in the comments, etc.. just the main post

  Thx in advance
  Regards

  Would subscribing to your own feed through bloglines or feedblitz, etc. not provide you with the back-up copies that you require?

  The only export method we have currently is XML. You should be able to save a copy of it if it’s loading into your browser. That’s the method WordPress uses to transfer files between wordpress blogs.

  Timethief mentions RSS as you can also save a copy of your posts if you’re using an offsite RSS reader or RSS service.

  Hope this helps,
