Question Does anyone know anything about Blogs.ie?
My apologies for a long enforced absence....

I'm trying to port a blog from blogs.ie to a standalone WordPress blog. I have searched the blogs.ie admin panel, but there is no export function. I have Googled until I'm blue in the face. I have written to blogs.ie [no response].

Has anyone any bright ideas?

Help!

I thought blogs.ie used some form of Wordpress or Wordpress MU?

The guys behind it used to be more active on mailing lists etc., but I haven't seen much activity from them in the last while

This might help you, it's the only way I can think of doing it, if you can't export it from blogs.ie. Thought there might be a slightly easier way than this, seeing it's wordpress to wordpress.

One of the major problems I have is that I can't access the site except via the conrtol panel, and that is very restricted. I have tried exporting via RSS, but there are almost 500 posts in there, and I can only get the last few [and lose all comments in the process].

Their main site is crap, in that there are no help facilities, or contacts. They have a forum where the questions go largely unanswered, and most of the entries are years out of date.

I have a nasty feeling I'm going to have to abandon the project.

Unless anyone has any contacts in there??

Roger Galligan used to be the guy behind it all... I presume he still is

Sir! You are indeed, a Scholar and a Gentleman.

He did indeed sort me out with great patience and perseverance. Not only was I provided with the database dump, but all the images as well.

Thank you kindly for your intervention.
