    I need to move a number of posts from my one WP blog to a new WP blog. If it was just a word doc it would simply be cut and paste. How do I do it with two separate WP blogs?

    Hi there,

    To move posts from one WordPress.com blog to another WordPress.com blog, you can use the built-in export and import tools provided by WordPress. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

    1. Export your posts from the source blog:
      • Log in to the WordPress.com dashboard of the source blog.
      • Navigate to the “WP Admin” section by clicking on “WP Admin” in the sidebar.
      • In the WP Admin dashboard, go to “Tools” > “Export”.
      • Select “Posts” as the content type you want to export.
      • Optionally, you can filter the posts based on categories, authors, or date range.
      • Click the “Download Export File” button to save the exported XML file to your computer.

    1. Import the posts to the target blog:
      • Log in to the WordPress.com dashboard of the target blog.
      • Navigate to the “WP Admin” section.
      • In the WP Admin dashboard, go to “Tools” > “Import”.
      • Look for the WordPress importer and click on the “Run Importer” link.
      • If you haven’t installed the WordPress importer plugin, you’ll be prompted to install it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install and activate the plugin.
      • Choose the exported XML file from your computer by clicking the “Choose File” button.
      • Click the “Upload file and import” button.
      • Assign the imported posts to an existing author or create a new author account.
      • Optionally, check the “Download and import file attachments” box if you want to import media files associated with the posts.
      • Click the “Submit” button to start the import process.
