  Hi I am new to blogging and do not properly understand the nitty gritty of blogging. I want to backup my blog and for that I want to export my blogs. But I couldn’t find the tools menu on my dashboard. Where am I going wrong?

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

  Try using a PC, or click on the menu-menu on your mobile.

  I was using a laptop, but my dashboard doesn’t look like it is shown in some examples in various forums. It shows blog posts, pages, testimonials, then themes, menus etc. Am I looking at a wrong dashboard?

  @thefoodfunda – You’ll need to do this from the WP Admin dashboard>Tools rather than in the Calypso (new blue) Dashboard. For the site you linked to above that would be:

  https://thefoodfunda.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=export-choices and choose the Start Export button under Export

  Let us know if you need more help with that.
