vB Blogs

[FreshFroot]

I thought I'd ask and see what vB users did with their blog posts?

I know vB has the "blog this post" option and no opposite feature, which kinda sucks.

Did anyone convert their blogs into XF threads/posts? or convert the blogs postings into wordpress etc..?

I kinda don't want to lose that data, so I thought I'd ask and see what others did.

I'm going to be porting my vB3 forum shortly.

Thanks.

Blog This Post - Is that like when you are Posting to a Forum you have the option of this Post appearing in your BLOG ?

For an important Blog I'd migrate to Wordpress.
Converting vB Blogs to a thread seems a bit weird, but could be helpful to not lose the data.

Are there too many Blog entries to do it manually ?

I converted them into posts/threads, but I deleted them, lol. There weren't much, only about 3-4 blog posts. And like Digital Doc said, it's kind of weird, lol.

Well the blogs we have are kinda like reviews on things.

So they wouldn't be weird.

How did you convert them into threads?

Kinda, there is a button on each post. Where if you click it, then it allows you to copy that post into your blog.

Take those reviews and get them out of vB Blogs !

Get them into Wordpress or XenCarta and the Search Engines will Love them.
If they are good reviews don't put them in a Post.

Could you screenshot that for me ? Pretty please

That is why I am asking if there is a converter at all?
