The Pownce Blog

Pownce offers several ways to export your data and import to other blog software. To get started, you’ll need to go to the Pownce export settings page and generate your export files. Once you’ve received your export files, you should save them to your computer but you can also import them to another blog! We’ve tested and verified Pownce importing into Vox, TypePad and Wordpress.com.

Vox

Vox offers a “neighborhood”, a social network that is home to a great community. You can even view your friends’ latest posts on your neighborhood page. You can find my Vox blog (including Pownce posts) at leahculver.vox.com.

To start importing, log in to your Vox account or create a new Vox account. Then go to You -> Library -> Posts and click on the “Import…” button.

Enter the URL to your export settings page - it should contain your secret key - and click “Go.” You can then select which posts you’d like to import or can choose to “Import all posts.”

TypePad

Download and save your Movable Type formatted file from your Pownce export settings page. Next, login to your TypePad account and select the blog you would like to import to or create a new TypePad blog. From the TypePad manage blog page, select Import/Export and choose to import from a TypePad, Movable Type, or other MTIF file. Choose to upload a file from your computer and select the Movable Type file that you have saved.

Click “Import” and your posts will start importing!

 WordPress.com

Download and save your Movable Type formatted file from your Pownce export settings page. Log in to the WordPress.com blog which you would like to import to or create a new Wordpress.com blog. In your WordPress.com admin, go to Tools -> Import and select “Movable Type and TypePad.” Choose the Movable type file that you have saved and click “Upload file and import” to begin importing.

Privacy

Pownce respects the privacy of your notes. For Vox imports, only public notes will be imported. For TypePad and WordPress, private and friends-only notes will be imported as drafts for you to review.

 Photos, video, music and files

Your exports contain links to your files and Six Apart will host all Pownce files for at least one year. When importing to Vox, your image thumbnails will be imported into your Vox library.
