Came to Micro.blog by accident, now I post to my blog again!

However, I feel like I like the idea of having it hosted by Micro.blog. That seems simpler since it’s all I really use my hosting for.

Is that a good idea? Or not? Can I transfer posts over? Looking for help, ideas?

@Omrrc There is an export function in Micro.blog so you can port your content to WordPress or etc if you want. I have a script to download my content regularly using a curl command. Is that what you were wondering?

@ronguest I was thinking the other way around. My Wordpress > Micro.blog!

@Omrrc Yes, I did that early on in my move to Micro.blog. It definitely has the import function for WordPress exports.

@ronguest There’s a whole help page on it. So, do still use Wordpress? Or just Micro.blog now?

@Omrrc I only use Micro.blog now. I don't have to spend time maintaining a WP site and can simply focus what time and energy I have on creating posts.

@ronguest I think that’s where I am. I like the idea about not having to worry about my Wordpress bit!

@ronguest @omrrc thats what I did too, ported everything from WP to Micro.blog, super easy to do. All you need is your export file from WP.

@Gabz Taken the plunge. Importing from Wordpress was very uneventful and just need to work out how too use my own domain and I should be sorted.
