I think the file that contain all the comments is an XML file. The blog service that I used before was called Echo: (Link to Echo)
If anybody has a clue, I would be extremely grateful for help or suggestions.
Sad me

Update: I have the comments in an XML file: aasaaaaaaaaaaa.blogspot.com-comments.xml
but I don't know how to export them to Blogger. If anybody knows I am happy about any kind of help :-)
UPDATE: I am trying out the instructions here:http://www.ellenshapiro.com/blog/2010/02/so-you-want-to-move-your-comments-from-haloscan-to-blogger/
but I cannot seem to do it. Basically because the instructions are not updated to the programs.
Anybody with a clue that possibly could help me?
woey, that feels bad indeed... How did that happen ? Did you get in touch with customer service ? Do you have some unreadable file with all the content ?
ReplyDeleteI am a bit running here and there these days (months ?), but tell me more, it's not impossible I can help. I'll try to stay connected, so I can answer quickly.
Apart from that, howdoesygo ?
warm hugs !
yeah, I am talking with them now. Might be a way to export the comments and regain them. Yeah, I felt bad about it. It was kinda like a diary to me, showing me everything I have been through, and the comments and conversations I had in them were part of that. And so many people came with a lot of good contributions and points. So I hope it is fixable :-)
ReplyDeleteActually... Look, the data is still there: I can find back comments from 2007. It's just about them giving it to you or you exporting it correctly.

(and I have some more...)
Do you still have access to you Admin panel ? Here is where you should get in, right ?:

Now what they say about exporting (last comment): "Is there a way to export my comments?" in http://wiki.aboutecho.com/w/page/19987912/FAQ%20-%20Administration
The rest is about putting it in a nice readable format, in which I would possibly be able to give some expertise.
Really hope these findings will help !
Un abrazo,

Ah, no, those are comments that survived when I didn't use Haloscan or Echo as comment provider. That is the only reason why they are there, and it was only for a short time I did it. But I am positive about fixing the problem :-) Thank you for your involvement in it :-))))
ReplyDeleteHope you find the way :)

ReplyDeleteHavent fixed it yet, but found instructions on how to. I actually think it is kinda fun doing things like this, but I am struggling quite a bit...not sure what to do now.
ReplyDeleteI am stuck on the wordpress part, cause I cannot register it in the program as it comes up so many more options than what he sums up, and I dont know what to fill into the tabs :-( This sucks...
If you want, I am a programmer. Just mail me the .xml file with your OLD comments, and go to the settings section of your current blogger account and click the "export blog" option. Send me that file too. I will write a quick python script to merge the two using google's API and mail you back a .xml you can upload that should have all the comments in place. You can contact me at gcondon@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSeemingly others are having this problem, so if anyone else wants the program I will post it on my new blog that I created to figure out where the "export" button is. =)
