There's not an export function in ee, unless it's in the latest version (haven't upgraded yet). <BR/><BR/>I've been told that I can use my rss feed for all posts and then somehow import it into wordpress.<BR/>Basically, I have to get a xml file out of ee which isn't that hard, but then there's the whole categories things, and what to do with comments, and making sure the photo links don't break. I've found a couple of people who've done it, and it's on my list for one day... ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'm actually going to do a post on the search engine issue, because that is too long for a comment. ;-)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475205435808073017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10630343.post-9269243352448329542007-11-21T07:19:00.000-08:002007-11-21T07:19:00.000-08:00Hi Robin,Another thing to think about.

Lately I have been reading a lot of art articles about how the importance of search engines is changing - to less important.<BR/><BR/>I feel lucky I am on the top for my name ... I don't know how I can beat out millions of other artists. A site I looked at yesterday had 50 million hits in an hour.<BR/><BR/>What is hard about the WordPress import? just curious.<BR/><BR/>~ Diane Clancy<BR/><A HREF="http://www.dianeclancy.com/blog" REL="nofollow" TITLE="www.dianeclancy.com/blog">www.dianeclancy.com/blog</A>dianeclancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301132196679250501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10630343.post-38863831405448282672007-11-21T06:14:00.001-08:002007-11-21T06:14:00.001-08:00As for hosting on a domain, I do wonder about sear...As for hosting on a domain, I do wonder about search indexing. As google (and others) often collapse links within a domain, I wonder about the search results of a blogger vs. wordpress.org (install) on domain.<BR/><BR/>NOT that I'm trying to take advantage of the search engines, but having separate sites means that I do have a more visible presence on the web, and if the seo folks are to be believed, increased linkage = higher rankings. Not exactly sure about that part, as google seems to constantly change its algorithm, so maybe that is long gone.<BR/><BR/>At some point, I'll migrate my art journal using expression engine (ee) to wordpress, but not until there is an easier import mechanism OR I have a lot of time. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughts.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475205435808073017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10630343.post-57782151745235644592007-11-20T09:42:00.000-08:002007-11-20T09:42:00.000-08:00I like this post.

What I really like - and recommend is WordPress blog on your own hosting. If you have a site, you can have a dozen WordPresses if you want ... <BR/><BR/>WordPress.com hosting severely limits what you can do as opposed to hosting it yourself.<BR/><BR/>My 2 cents worth - good luck! (I started those other 2 blogs to be able to advise people how to use them.)<BR/><BR/>~ Diane Clancy<BR/><A HREF="http://www.dianeclancy.com/blog" REL="nofollow" TITLE="www.dianeclancy.com/blog">www.dianeclancy.com/blog</A>dianeclancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301132196679250501noreply@blogger.com
