Hi Guys. I have a blog on Wordpress.com, that is a free hosting.
I want to move my blog on Wordpress.com to my personal host in which where I have installed a new blog with a new MYSQL: i can't baclup the DB from Wordpress.com and there isn't a features that allow me to Export the Rss Feed or all posts and comments. Does a plugin exist? How can I do?
Thank you.
Wrong site? wordpress.org
Hace a look at wordpress.com
No - he/she is not at the wrong site. Read it again.
@dariosalvelli:
Have a look at this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#Importing_from_an_RSS_feed
You may also need to install a plugin from Technosailor.
Use the export feature on your WP.com blog then use the plugin to import it. I used it about a week ago with no problems. The only down side is anything in your sidebar (lonks etc) will have to be recreated in your WP.org blog.
A small price to gain all the options available with your own hosted blog.
Marc nailed it. That plugin is really the way to go for moving from a WP.COM hosted blog to your own hosted blog.

For the other blindies out there:
Dashboard -> Manage -> Export
:)
The plugin is no longer needed.
The export needs 3 steps.
1. Export the data as xml then import to new db.
2. Import blogroll links direct from new dashboard.
3. Transfer images or write a bash script to do it :)
