One of my posts has disappeared and I can't reimport it from TypePad, either!!

Posted on March 20, 2006. Filed under: WordPress 2.0, WordPress 2.0.2, WordPress.com, feature requests |

Update: Export feature now exists!  Access it through Manage|Export menu – thanks wordpress.com!

It’s great that wordpress.com offers the easy ability to import posts, comments, and trackbacks from other blogging systems. But I find it very surprising that there is no similar option to export your existing wordpress.com blog so that it can be imported [...]

How cool!  One of the features I requested appears to have been implemented (and I’m sure I was the only one who requested it and am the sole reason it got implemented (not) but it’s still uber-cool to see your ideas come to life
The admin panel at the top of the screen that [...]

Welcome to WordPress Blogging Tips at blogging.wordpress.com

Posted on September 6, 2005. Filed under: WordPress 2.0, WordPress.com, blogging |

I recently received an invite to WordPress.com, a hosted multi-user version of WordPress that I assume aims to compete directly with TypePad, Blogger, and other hosted blogging platforms. As those who have used WordPress know, it is an extraordinarily versatile and feature-rich blogging platform that is hard to beat — unless you a) don't [...]
