Using these instructions imports the following from Quick Blogcast:

• Posts
• Categories
• Comments
• Trackbacks

The following information will not be imported:

• Tags
• Template and design. You will need to pick a new template and redesign their website in Wordpress. The templates in QBC are not available in WordPress.
• Authors / Commenters / Subscribers
• Videos / Images / Files in the posts

  After completing these steps, your posts will continue to display videos, photos, and files because they are still available using the resources hosted on Quick Blogcast. However, after June 25, these will no longer work because we are retiring Quick Blogcast. For your photos and files to continue to work, you must download them, re-upload, and re-link to them in WordPress. For videos, you cannot download them from Quick Blogcast in a WordPress-compatible format. You will need to upload your original version of the videos.

Export QuickBlogcast to WordPress

   NOTE: You can only export your last 100 posts. If you have more than 100, you can perform one export, delete the 100 posts you exported, and then perform another export for the next 100.

7. Click Apply.

Save your RSS Feed

Saving your RSS feed's content does not include your posts' images or audio files. However, those resources will continue to work because they're housed on the Quick Blogcast servers.

However, once we retire Quick Blogcast on June 25, 2014, those resources will stop working. We recommend downloading those resources individually and moving them to your new blogging platform.

1. Go to your QuickBlogcast Website and click on the Posts RSS 2.0.
2. In your Web browser, from the View menu, select Page Source or Source.
3. A new page will open with the source of this RSS Feed. Select Save As from the File menu and save this file with a name you will remember.

NOTE: You must save the file using an .aspx extension. Mozilla® Firefox will do this by default, but you must manually enter the extension if you save using Microsoft® Internet Explorer.

WordPress should now state that it is importing the entries, with a separate line indicating the import for each entry.You have now imported your QuickBlogcast entries to WordPress.

NOTE: If your blog contains a large number or posts, you may need to increase the disk space to display all posts.
