One of the cool getting started features in BubbleCommunities is the Wordpress import feature. If you already have a blog on Wordpress, you can easily migrate it to a BubbleCommunity by simply exporting your Wordpress blog and importing it into BubbleCommunity.

To migrate your blog:
  1. Export your blog from Wordpress by going to your dashboard and choosing the Tools option followed by the Export option. Save the exported file onto your computer.
  2. Login to BubbleCommunities, and create a blog community.
  3. Goto your new community and choose the "Manage" option.
  4. Click on the import content option, choose Wordpress and upload the file saved in Step 1.
  5. Done!
To see a before and after, look at this blog at Wordpress: http://sportsesteem.wordpress.com.

Now, see the after at: http://www.sportsesteem.com.

As a BubbleCommunity, the blog can now be:

  1. Converted to a blog, discussion or workgroup community.
  2. Easily "bubbled" into other communities.
  3. Sorted into topics as well as tags.
  4. Broadcast on Twitter.
  5. Enhanced with new formatting options such as story summaries.
  6. Enhanced with your own custom CSS formatting at no extra charge.

While Wordpress has a great solution for blogging, the blogs stand alone. A BubbleCommunity shares with other communities.

After these steps, all of your content updates, shown under "Spy", are broadcast on your Twitter account. Plus, the Twitter feed link is shown at the top of your Spy alerts.
