What does it mean to export my blog?
Exporting your blog allows you to import it to another platform. We'd hate to see you leave us, but don't want you to feel locked down.

How do I export my blog?
To export your blog, click on the "Export Blog" link in your blog's dropdown menu. Once you do, you will then be prompted to select which type of export you would like to do.

What platforms can I export my blog to?
We currently offer export files that are compatible with Blogger, Typepad, and Wordpress.

I started the export, where do I get my file?
When your export is complete, you'll receive a link where you can download your file.

Do you export all of my posts?
We export all published posts, including those that are marked to not show up on the homepage. Posts that are marked as drafts do not get exported.

What order will my exported posts show up in?
The posts will appear in chronological order. Please note, posts that you've marked as featured will no longer appear first and will instead appear in chronological order.

Do you export all post types?
All post types are exported (layouts, videos, chats, etc.). However they are not compatible with the other platforms and will not function in the same way. Here is a more detailed list of what you can expect:

• Galleries: All images will be displayed in one post
• Layouts: Text within a layout is not exported, and all links are stripped out
• Polls: Choices will be listed
• Quizzes: Questions will be listed with choices and answer explanation
• Quotes: Fancy stylings are removed
• Chats: Fancy stylings are removed

Does break code work in my export file?
The break code is rendered differently in each platform. As of now, it works the same for Wordpress; Typepad converts it to a "continue reading" link; and Blogger strips it out completely.

What happens to my media files?
Your media files are still linked to onsugar.com. This includes all images, videos, and audio files. Please note, if you delete your OnSugar blog, you may end up losing access to all of these files.

Will my media files work on all platforms?
Audio files work on Typepad and upgraded Wordpress. Video files work on Blogger, Typepad, and upgraded Wordpress.

My blog contains free Getty Images, if I export them to another blog can I still use them?
While the links will still work, you will no longer be allowed to legally use the Getty Images.

Do you export my comments?
When you choose what type of file to export, you can also select whether or not you want to export comments.

Do you export my categories and tags?
Yes, we export categories and tags. However, please note Blogger and Typepad combine them into one grouping instead of two.
