  Hello, could you please tell me how to backup an existing WordPress.com (not WordPress.org) blog’s posts?

  I recently downloaded Windows Live Writer, but it doesn’t seem to have made backup files of my existing or already posted WordPress.com posts.

  As I am new here, and you’re probably the expert of the two of us, could you offer me some advice?

  Much appreciated! :)

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

  The export option in the WordPress admin can help you with this.

  Take a look at this page for more information:

  Please note that the XML export file that is created is a text file that has links to the media (pictures etc.) but not the media itself – so you will not have a backup of the media library
