  I have a blog where I’d like to keep the name but replace all the content. That is, save all the posts and links offline, and create all new posts. (I want to go from a political blog to a political humor blog.) There a good way to do this? Thanks.

  Manage—> Export —–> Save to computer or to a disk, etc.
  Once you’ve saved, you’re free to delete stuff on your blog, as the stuff is secure on the export file.

  Thanks. Slightly different variation on the question: can I move the current posts to another page on the blog, so that they’re still retrievable by readers?

  Manually, yes. But why make it so complicated? Why not just create a new blog, and have a tab or link to your old blog? Or if your worried about starting with new traffic all over again, cuz of a new URL; move the old stuff to a new blog and tab or link. To move old stuff to new blog. You just do manage—-> Import after you do manage—-> export.

  Hmm. I like that separate blog idea — may try that. Thanks.
