How can I import my blog posts into my Website Builder blog?

This article will show you how to import posts into your Website Builder blog.

Step 4 of 5

You will now need to enter the URL for your blog’s RSS feed into the provided box. The way you can gain this URL depends on what type of blog you have:

  • If you have a WordPress blog, all you need to do is enter your URL and add ‘/feed/’ to the end of it – i.e. ‘https://Example.co.uk/feed/’.
  • If you have a non-WordPress blog, simply go to your blog, right-click anywhere on the page and select View page source from the drop-down menu that appears.

    This will take you to a new page featuring a long list of code. Press Ctrl and F on your keyboard, and then enter RSS into the search box that appears. Any instances of this term will now be highlighted for you, and you’ll need to find a link that ends in ‘.rss’.

    Once you’ve found it, click the link and you’ll be taken to another page of code. Simply copy the URL of that page and paste it into the provided field.

Once you’ve entered your URL, click Import posts.

Enter URL and Import posts

 

Step 5 of 5

The system will now begin importing your posts for you. Once done, you’ll be able to manage them all from your Website Builder’s Blog menu.
