Blog Migration: Me, Too
Kip Esquire is thinking of moving his blog from PowerBlogs. I might consider it, too, if doing so were easy. I probably do not have as many requirements as he does, but I would be interested in moving EclectEcon either to WordPress or to TypePad (or something else that permits scheduled posting). I have offered to pay either service to import my blog and domain name, but they seem uninterested in my business.
Like Kip, I am open to suggestions and offers. Unlike Kip, I do not want to do any of the work. I would, ideally, like a seamless transition. If you have any suggestions or if you are interested in doing this migration for me, please let me know.
Who knows, maybe we can work out a two-fer or at least share some of the costs of the learning curve.

Depending on the degree of openness of Powerblogs, coding a seamless export/import script might be a sizable job so I'm not surprised that they didn't want to take that on...
I'm surprised Typepad wasn't interested. They do offer that service for a fee: "Do you have a free blog that is costing you traffic, time and energy? If so, it's time to switch. We'll do all the heavy lifting to migrate your content; you sit back and enjoy a new sense of freedom and control." http://www.sixapart.com/services/bloggers-small-business/
Is the problem that Powerblogs isn't a "free blog"? Or that they asked for too much money?
