Moving to a new blog page

I have enough of Friendster blog. Now, it allows me to log in and post, but the page takes some time to load. I’m just too tired and sick of all the waiting. I also am afraid of losing all my previous posts, so I decided to move my blog.

The new blog is
here. Anyway, I can’t find any program that allows me to be able to move the whole of my Friendster blog to blogger, inclusing the comments. So, I have to do this move manually. It is a very tedious process, so my new blog is still a work-in-progress. Also, since I wanted to keep all the dates and times to be the same as the original postings, including the comments, you can see that I even posted the comments left by my friends in the main posting body page. Can’t be helped. When my new blog is all moved, anyone can leave feel free to leave their comments through the comments link.

Since my new blog site is not fully completed, I will still keep using Friendster blog and when I’ve finished moving, I will post all my postings on both blogs. I will do it as long as Friendster blog allows me to. As I’ve said before, not every time that I log into Friendster blog, it allows me to.

I have lots to say about my Chinese New Year but I want to get back to my moving of blogs. Some other time, maybe.

Fed up with Friendster blog!

I really had enough of this Friendster blog. Ever since they changed to this new layout and format, I had trouble logging in to update my blog. I can go to the Friendster homepage but when I try to go to the blog page, it will always show me the ‘Website not available / there’s an internet connection problem’ page. So fed up with it! I can’t even use the url to access my blog. I don’t know if anyone tried to access my blog to read, but I can’t read my blog!

That’s why, I have been thinking of moving my blog to another host. I actually have another blog page with blogger. But I don’t want to lose all my previous entries here at Friendster. The earlier ones contain my experiences in USA and are my memories. I also have all these comments from friends and they are precious to me too.

I have tried to google online on how to export from Friendster blog to other blog pages. But the instructions all come with lots of computer jargon or steps that I get stuck at certain points. This makes me very frustrated. I hope to get the new blog page up and running so I can blog whenever I feel like it. With this Friendster blog, I can’t log in to blog when I have inspiration. Only reason why I can log in now is because I’m blogging in the middle of the night.

So frustrating! I want to move my blog but being tied by my previous entries. Someone help me!!
