  I am splitting my blog – I currently have four categories, and I’m pulling one of the categories (Tea) out and putting it into its own blog.

  I would like to move all of the posts in the Tea category over to the new blog en masse, but can’t find a way to do that. Do I have to copy & paste each post’s content, re-enter all of the tags, back-date the post, and lose all the comments?

  Alternatively, is there a way to simply clone my blog, and then I can change the settings and remove the tea posts from the old blog and everything except the tea posts from the new blog?

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

  Make a category for all the posts you want to move.

  Then Export the posts you want to move and import them into the new blog.

  Thanks for the help! Export/import was precisely what I needed. Worked like a champ!

  (I put a thank-you in a post on the new blog, too. Look for the pingback.)
