Thanks for the help! I needed the hand holding on this one. For some reason it just seems oh so scary. I did it thanks to you! Thank you!!!

Ahh! This is so helpful. I kept seeing people tweeting to back up your blog and I just wanted to yell in frustration "where?!" but this basically answered all my questions. I'm late to the Bloggiesta but I figured I could still participate unofficially. =) Thank you SO much.

I exported all my content into an xml file using the wordpress tool. Done! I hope that's all I need to do. I also have automatic backups through my webhost so it was mostly for more peace of mind :)

I consider myself pretty tech savvy but I didn't know you can use Wordpress like this to backup your blog on Blogger. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your instructions and screenshots were very helpful. I'm backing up mine right now.

I just wanted to stop by and thank you for this great tutorial. I just backed up my blog on to a Wordpress account and your instructions made it super easy!

Hi Brianna, with help from my boyfriend, and your extraordinary blogpost, I finally managed to back up my blog and my template, and I even created a back up free Wordpress blog. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this. I'm backing my content up now. Only thing is I can't seem to find the privacy option. I figured it may appear after I import the content but it hasn't. There's option privacy in the settings category. Everything else is but that! Help please?

Can't thank you enough for posting this! I don't think I've exported since the new interface came out, so I definitely needed to back things up! Thanks for the help with Wordpress, too... I thought I had imported everything over there once before, but when I went over, there wasn't anything there! Now I'm taken care of again!

I know Bloggiesta is over, but I'm trying to go back and look at all the things I really needed to learn. I've been blogging 3 years and this is the first time I backed up my blog and template! I know, it's insane and I have no excuse since it turns out to be ridiculously easy! Thank you so much for hosting this challenge, I am totally doing this every Friday!

Thank you!

Brianna, just wanted to let you know that I was able to back up both my blog and my template in Firefox without any problems. So weird that I couldn't get it to generate an .xml file during the back up on Safari. Just that feed of my blog archive--posts and comments even though I couldn't scroll through all 9266 items.

2012-09-30T07:25:22.274-07:00

Brianna, I think I need some help.. I just followed your super easy instructions for downloading my blog ... and it didn't save a file on my hard drive. Instead, it created a feed on my browser with all my content.. comments, posts, etc. So strange. Any ideas what went wrong?

Thank you :) Now I won't have to worry so much...

Since I am self hosted and have an awesome hosting company. They back me up daily both on site and off site. I am super happy for this but I also backed up a copy of my own.

2012-09-28T15:00:43.890-07:00

Thanks for the instructions. They were so easy to follow. I didn't know how to do it under the new blogger "dashboard". Yay for bloggiesta and for posting this link.

My blog disappeared once for just half an hour, but it stress me out SO much. I keep making back ups on my computer. I've now created a Wordpress account. Thank you so much for explaining it so easy :) It feels good to have an extra back up :)

I was on vacay and missed Bloggiesta, but THIS POST ROCKS. I didn't even know this was possible! I'm pretty happy with Blogger, and I *love* my site design, so I don't envision moving to WP. I don't want to test my luck, though, since it's notoriously lousy, and this back-up method just makes me feel better. Thanks so much!

Self hosting on WP would be the ideal way to go, as far as blog freedom is concerned, but I do not have the skill or know-how to self host. I'd probably mess things up. LOL I envy those who have the ability to self-host.
