Default Transferring a Blog
I have a client who is using ecto a MAC based blog software which she has loaded on her desktop. Since I am on a PC we want to move to a web-based blog. Any recommendations for which service to use and the best way to transfer her current entries?

Thanks
Donna

I'm pretty certain both Blogger and Wordpress (WP for sure) have a feature that allows you to port over the entire database of posts from an exisitng/previous blog program, but I'm not sure about ecto being on that list. Check out the Wordpress help files for more info - it could be as simple as a couple of clicks...we've done the same for quite a few clients (although not from ecto...)

Hope that helps a bit

Hi Donna,

In my opinion, Wordpress is the most user-friendly and feature-packed web-based blogging platform.

The best way to transfer your posts, see this post on the wordpress.org site.

If you run into problems, there are lots of WP experts there, and we can help you here as well! Good luck!
