How to blog  Import and Export

</h1>
<div class="article-content entry-content" itemprop="articleBody">
Today’s release brings another long-desired feature to Blogger: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Import and Export</span> of blogs. Now you can <b>export all of your posts and comments into a single, Atom-formatted XML file</b> for easy backup. You can then import the posts back into Blogger, either into an existing blog or into a new one.<br />
<br />

To export your blog, log in to <b><span style="color: blue;">http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/</span></b> and go to the <b>Settings > Basic</b> page. You’ll see the <b>Others  Tools</b> 
 links at the top of the page for importing and exporting. (We also 
moved blog deletion up here from the bottom of the page. Don’t worry 
about accidentally clicking it, though; your blog wouldn’t be deleted 
until you confirmed on the next page.) <br />

 you click “Export blog” and press the “Export” button on the next page,
 your browser will prompt you to save the XML file for your blog. Keep 
it somewhere safe as a backup, or import it into a different blog.  You 
can import one blog into another from the Blog Tools links, or when 
creating a new blog. Look for the “Advanced Options” at the bottom of 
the page.<br />

When
 you import a blog, all of the posts will get saved in an “imported” 
state. From there you can publish just a few, or all of them at once.  
Here are some ideas for what you can do with importing and exporting:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Merge two or more blogs into one.</b>  Take the exported posts and comments from one blog and import them into another one.   </li>
<li><b>Move individual posts from blog to blog.</b>  After importing, select just a set of posts to publish and publish them with one click.</li>
<li><b>Back up your blog to your own storage.</b> You can keep your 
words safe and under your control in case anything happens to your blog,
 or us, or if you want to remove them from the Internet.</li>
<li><b>Move your blog somewhere else.</b> Our export format is standard 
Atom XML. We hope to see other blogging providers extend their Atom 
support to include import and export. And, if you decide to come back to
 Blogger, importing your export file will get you back up and running in
 seconds.</li>
</ul>
<b>Caveats</b><br />
<ul>
<li>The export format currently <b>only covers blog posts and comments to those posts, not blog settings or templates</b>.
 To back up a Classic template, copy and paste the template code from 
the editor. To back up a Layouts template, use the Backup / Restore 
template option to download a copy of your template.</li>
<li>Before importing a blog for the first time, we recommend that you 
create a new, throwaway blog to import into so you get a sense for how 
the process works. Once you’re comfortable, import into your public 
blog.</li>
<li>At the moment there is a 1MB size limit on the blog you can import. This is a bug that we are correcting the issue.<br />
</li>
</ul>
Have you imported or exported your blog? Let us know about how it went in the comments.</div>
