Oops! Should have just made a new site

    Hello! I jumped the gun a little and had a new blog idea, thought I had waaaay less on the last one I started and figured I’d just hide the old posts to make room for the new, then realized moments after changing my username and main-site URL that I had far more content from the last one to make that worthwhile. Is there a way I can migrate the old posts to a secondary site, so that I can use the new username/url for the book review blog that I’m starting? TIA!!

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

    Hi –

    Yes, absolutely :)

    The easiest thing to do is to create a site export of all of the posts.

    Export Your Website’s Content

    Once you have that export file, you can import them on to a new site.

    Import a Website

    Last, go ahead and empty out the old site AFTER you’ve verified you have all that you need from it saved.
