As you might have known by yesterday, I moved my blog from WindowsClient.net over here at Microsoft.co.il.
I consulted with Guy Burstein regarding how to I could import the posts to the new blog, he referred me to the following post -
Manipulate Your Blog with MetaBlog API for C#
This was a great post – thanks Guy!
I followed the steps there in order to get the API and the connection ready.
Afterwards, I connected to the source, pulled out the posts and saving them to a file.
At last, I loaded the posts, connected to the target (the new blog) and posted all the posts.
Obviously, I could do this one right after another (without persistence) but I did want to take an overall look and see everything is fine and have future reference to the posts’ content. (E.g. finding all the posts I attached files into)
Note that this does not synchronize tags nor comments.
The source code is attached, feel free to download and play with it yourself.
