Splinder Importer Now Available

WordPress.com News Splinder Importer Now Available January 9, 2012 at 11:00 PM by Daryl L. L. Houston Italian blogging service Splinder.com is closing down at the end of this month, and we'd like to extend a hearty "Benvenuto" to any Splinder users who're looking for a new blogging home. To help make migration easier, we've added a Splinder importer to WordPress.com. If you'd like to make the move, please go ahead and get started now so that there's time before the January 31st deadline to work out any issues. Exporting your Splinder Blog To import a Splinder blog, you'll first need to save your export file to your computer by following these steps: First, log in to Splinder and click the "Blog" link available at the top of the home page. Next, click the "configura" link available at the top of the blog page. Now click "Esporta blog e attiva redirect" in the right-hand sidebar. Next, download the content of your blog by clicking the link "Clicca qui per scaricare il file con i contenuti del tuo blog." Now you're ready to import the downloaded file into your WordPress.com blog. Importing to WordPress.com Create a WordPress.com account and blog if you haven't already, and then visit Tools -> Import in the admin sidebar. You should find the Splinder importer among the list of importers. Click the link to get started. Next, you'll upload the export file you've downloaded to your computer from Splinder. Once the importer has validated your import file, you'll be prompted to map users from the old blog to the new. If you'd like to have your post images downloaded as well, be sure to tick the "Download and import file attachments" checkbox. Once you've submitted the import request, it can take a few minutes to perform the import, and you'll receive an email letting you know that the import finished. After you have imported your content into WordPress.com, you can return to your Splinder settings to create a redirect that will forward your old Splinder blog to your new WordPress.com blog. Provide your new WordPress.com blog URL in the field and click the "Attiva redirect" button. If you have any trouble importing your blog, of course you're welcome to contact support, and one of our Happiness Engineers will be glad to help out. To learn your way around WordPress.com, we encourage you to check out our handy tutorial. We also provide comprehensive feature documentation at our support site. Welcome to WordPress.com!

Our previous space upgrade levels have been increased without any additional cost for you as follows: 5GB → 10GB 15GB → 25GB 25GB → 50GB 50GB → 100GB 100GB → 200GB If you already subscribed to one or more of these upgrades ( yes, they are cumulative ), your total available space has been automatically updated as you can see in your Media Library. If you don't have a Space Upgrade yet, or need to add more, the new levels have been implemented in the Store section of your dashboard. The Space Upgrade of course gives you more space to store your photos, and docs, but it also enables you to upload audio files, which makes it perfect for podcasts, MP3s, or any audio format. We don't even limit your bandwidth, and we'll keep your files as long as your blog exists. If you want to learn more about these upgrades, feel free to visit our space upgrades support page. But wait, there's more… For those of you with a private blog, we lifted the previous limit of 35 users allowed to access it. From now on, you can add as many authorized users as you wish, from the Settings → Privacy section of the dashboard. We hope you'll enjoy these new features, and we wish you and your WordPress.com site all the best for 2012! Like this: 10 bloggers like this post.
