Exporting Journalspace.com content to be imported into Movable Type

topic posted Tue, February 21, 2006 - 4:28 PM by  Unsubscribed
From what I can tell I seem to be the only person in the world who actually wants to do this, maybe I'm wrong...anyways....I have 2 blogs at Journalspace, and I'd like to take the old entries out of their system and put them into a new MT-based system.

JS does not allow exporting raw text the way other systems do - the best I can get is to copy and paste each entry + info into a new plaintext file and follow MT's specs and import it in. However every time I do I get the times, categories, and titles imported - but no body copy.

Read the f'in manual but it doesn't tell me anything about how to troubleshoot a partially successful import - sent in an email to Six Apart for help but in the meantime I thought I'd ask the group, and see what y'all might have to say...

BTW, Journalspace is a great service - i'm only moving because I wanted my own domains and not subdomains of JS, that's all. Other than that theyr'e fine.
