  Is there any way I can replicate my blog? I want to quickly set up some very similar website for my different but very similar projects?

  Thanks.

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

  You can export the content out of your blog and then import it into a new blog. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/ The content in your text widgets will not be exported. You must copy and paste it. Also note that Google has a very dim view of duplicate content blogs > http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66359

  I think it’s important to provide links to backup instructions your post in case like this one because we are not clear if both blogs are WordPress.COM blogs or if one is a WordPress.ORG blog. Also note that many people think their text widget content is exportable when it isn’t.

  I am replicating blogs on same platform wordpress.com

  The processing is still hanging with no any information updating, I think at least a progress bar should be provided in this matter.

  OK, I found it actually already finished long time ago, it’s just the screen didn’t get refreshed. That should be a bug.
