Exporting a blog

The Import/Export page exports the blog content to an XML file. These exports may be used for backup purposes, or for sharing with other blogs.

To export posts from your blog:

1.	Click the Settings & Security tab.

2.	Click Publishing Defaults in the Options list.

3.	Click Import/Export.

4.	Click the Generate Export button at the bottom of the page. The Publishing Defaults page opens, and displays the following message: "A request to export your blog contents has been queued. Please check back in a few minutes to retrieve your file."

5.	Click Import/Export to return to the Import/Export page. The pop-up message appears above the Generate Export button with a link to download the generated export.

6.	Click the Download link to retrieve the blog export file.

Note: Depending on operating conditions, it may take a few minutes for the export file to be generated.
