How to Clone an existing blog

[nealc99]

I would like to "clone" a current blog setup to create a new blog (with same content & template).

What would be the "easiest" way to go about doing this?

(Feature request:  Right Mouse on blog and say "clone or duplicate")

I want the exact same thing and unless I've missed something (and I hope I have) there doesn't appear to be a way of doing this.

For clarity purposes "if" there were a command in Thingamablog, here is how it would operate and what it would do:

Right click on an EXISTING blog and by the DELETE command it would have an option that said "CLONE".

When you click on CLONE it takes the existing branch and creates a new branch labeled "Clone - Existing Blog Name" (same settings, template, everything).

We would then manually open it up and modify the settings and themes as necessary and retain the same "content (posts)" from the original blog.

I guess one could create a new 'empty' blog and then duplicate the data from one blog to another... messing a bit around with the xml files etc...

Haven't tried it, I have to confess... what I did try was to grab everything from my webserver with Endsheet, save it to XML and import in TAMB, it works...
