hey everyone -
some of you have asked about moving your true/slant content to another blog.  pls see instructions below.

if you do not have a blog:
- you can create a blog at WordPress.com:   http://en.wordpress.com/signup/
- with a WordPress blog you'll see much that is familiar, since t/s is built on top of WordPress
- once you create your blog simply follow the instructions below

exporting your posts:
1. log into trueslant.com
2. click Manage, top right in the black nav
3. click Tools in the left column (scroll down to see it)
4. click Export in the left column, beneath Tools
5. Restrict Author dropdown should say All Authors
6.. click Download Export File
7. Save File to your computer's Desktop; the file name will look like this:  wordpress.2010-07-15.xml

importing your posts from T/S to another WordPress blog:

1. go to your WordPress blog and log in
2. click My Dashboard
3. click Tools in the left column (scroll down to see it)
4. click Import in the left column, beneath Tools
5. click Wordpress
6. browse to find the file on your computer's Desktop
7. click Upload File and Import
8. on Assign Authors page, select your name in the Map to Existing dropdown
9. check the box to Download and Import File Attachemnts
10. click Submit

WordPress will then import your content.

pls let me know if you have questions on the above or need help.  also, holler if you need help importing your true/slant content into a blog that is not in WordPress. 

thanks much -
andrea
