No old Blog. No New Blog. There’s only one blog.

The journey has been quite exciting. I started blogging at the now
defunct Yahoo!360. Then did some post on blogger and racked my brains
and imported all these posts into a WordPress installation on a free
hosting server. Now that I own a few domains I’ve decided to move all
the content here. I’ve found a wonderful resource for me to import all my previous blogs to one place. A plugin exists to export all the posts and comments of WordPress 2.1+ blogs to wxr format. Wxr stands for WordPress eXtended Rss.

I dared and used the plugin for my old WordPress 2.0.5 blog. It installed and exported all the content in an instant. I was a little apprehensive about importing this file into my current blog setup fearing it would ruin everything if there is a format mismatch. But it integrated wonderfully into my new setup.
Now I have all my blog posts, since June 2005 in one place. I never thought it would be possible in such an easy manner.
WordPress rocks!
