Google Open Source Blog: Google Blog Converters 1.0 Released: Blogger (now) allows users the ability to export all contents of their blog, the Data Liberation team would like to announce the Google Blog Converters project. This new Open Source project provides the ability to easily move blog posts and comments from service to service. This initial release provides Python libraries and runnable scripts that convert between the export formats of Blogger, LiveJournal, MovableType, and WordPress. This is after Google decided to allow Blogger users to import and export data from Blogger.
Sweet!!!! 🙂
wow cool..
but i already deleted my exwordpress..
since i can’t export it to blogspot.
but since google release one..
i will try it..
thanks google
When they release a WordPress plugin that automates syncing between Blogger, MovableType, LiveJournal (the big one for me!), etc, then I’ll get excited. The python script is a bit hard to properly work for a non-programmer such as myself in its current form. Even a Windows executable would be nice.
But when it does work more easily on more platforms, this is going to be a HUGE benefit to me and a lot of other people!
Is this going to create duplicate content issues for some people? I’m not against the idea, just wondering what Google will do with a blog that has been exported to another server when the the old server keeps running.
