If you wish to move your BlogHarbor or Blogware blog to another service, it is possible to export some of the content as an XML file. This page explains how to create an XML export file:

WordPress can read the Blogware export file and import your articles, though there are many limitations with the resulting import. Some of those limitations include the following:
  • The layout or Color Scheme for your blog will not be imported.
  • Comments are not attributed. The Blogware export file does not contain the author information so all WordPress comments are attributed to Anonymous.
  • No URL redirection is provided.
  • Trackbacks are not imported.
  • Photos are not imported.
  • Users are not imported.
  • Settings are not imported.
  • File Attachments are not imported.
  • File Uploads from the File Manager are not imported.
  • Web Pages are not imported.
  • Permissions are not imported.
There are numerous other limitations with the import file.

While information about your File Uploads contained in your File Manager is not contained in the Blogware XML export file, all of your files are accessible via FTP and that's the easiest way to retrieve them.

Information on accessing your File Manager via FTP is here:

http://demo.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2004/12/24/214196.html

The files contained in the top directory of your FTP site were accessible at the root directory of your Blogware blog; so if you had a file at the top level of the FTP site named mypicture.jpg and your site had a URL of www.blogharbor.com, the file's URL was http://www.blogharbor.com/mypicture.jpg .

So you can just download the contents of your FTP site and upload the contents to the root directory of your new site.
