How to export your Diaryland posts

July 11th, 2011

If you are interested in my Diaryland to WordPress conversion service, you will need to get a copy of your Diaryland entries. Instructions on how to do that are included below thanks to Weetabix!

  1. Log into the Diaryland account that you want archived.
  2. Look at your Profile. That will tell you exactly how many entries that account has posted. I charge $0.10 per entry to be imported.
  3. If you’re no longer a Gold member, then pay for a 3 month Gold membership (it’s $12) which is the cheapest tier, and then wait an eternity for Andrew to flip the switch on your account and send you the email that you’re Gold again.
  4. Go to the Gold Member resources.
  5. Select Download Diaryland Backup or something like that. That will trigger a giant file that may take a very long time to build. When it finishes, save that file as an .html on your harddrive. It might be helpful to rename it (YOUR NAME) Diaryland Backup.html.
  6. Send it to me (via my email address on the contact page) along with your WordPress admin address and log in information. I’ll invoice you for half the fee before I start and the other half once it’s complete.
