  Hi. I have a self-hosted blog http://www.sugareuphoria.com/our-blog/ that I would like to export. When I click the export option under Tool, there isn’t a file to save to my computer. A new browser window opens with text. Can you help me create an xml file?

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

  One way I think of would be to save the open tab with all that text. I have a weird feeling that the extension is .xml

  Are you able to paste the first few lines of the text by using the backticks?

  Hi!

  Yes, it is most likely an XML file. Your browser is probably just rendering the file instead of just downloading it. What browser are you using?

  If the first line of the text is something similar to:

  • “<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ ?>” or
  • “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.”

  Than it is definitely the export XML file. You can save the file as XML, as jcasta suggested, but is better to save it from source (right click, View Page Source), and import the saved file into your new blog.

  cheers
