Convert BLOGTHIS to WPOST

Understanding BlogThis and WPOST file formats

BlogThis files are typically associated with the BlogThis! feature from Blogger, which allows users to quickly post content to their Blogger blogs. These files often contain blog post drafts or content in a structured format, sometimes as HTML or XML.

WPOST files are used by Windows Live Writer, a desktop blog-publishing application. The WPOST format stores blog post drafts, including text, images, and formatting, in an XML-based structure compatible with Windows Live Writer.

Why convert BlogThis to WPOST?

Converting from BlogThis to WPOST is useful if you want to migrate your blog drafts or posts from Blogger to Windows Live Writer for advanced editing, offline access, or publishing to multiple platforms.

How to convert BlogThis to WPOST

There is no direct, automated converter for BlogThis to WPOST due to the proprietary nature of both formats. However, you can perform the conversion manually by following these steps:

1. Export your BlogThis content: Open your BlogThis file and copy the blog post content (HTML or plain text).
2. Open Windows Live Writer: Launch the application on your computer.
3. Create a new post: Go to File → New to start a new blog post.
4. Paste your content: Insert the copied content from your BlogThis file into the new post editor.
5. Save as WPOST: Use File → Save As to save your draft as a .wpost file.

Best software for BlogThis to WPOST conversion

Windows Live Writer is the recommended software for this process. It allows you to create, edit, and save blog posts in the WPOST format. For handling BlogThis files, any text editor (such as Notepad++ or Sublime Text) can be used to extract the content.

Tips for a smooth conversion

• Ensure that formatting and images are correctly transferred when pasting content.
• Check for any HTML tags or special formatting that may need adjustment in Windows Live Writer.
• Always keep backup copies of your original BlogThis files before conversion.
