A client of mine has an Umbraco site from about a year and a half ago which we are redesigning and rebuilding. The design and all of the content and views etc are all completely different than the original site so we 'started from scratch' - i.e., installed a new instance of Umbraco and rebuilt the site with our latest & greatest versions of our tools and views. This has all been fine except for one snag: the client has an Articulate blog which they have filled with well over a hundred posts, and we want to copy their archive and authors to our new Umbraco instance.
I have not found a utility that will do this automatically. I've considered trying to merge the Articulate content in umbraco.config, but all of the IDs, parent IDs, node IDs etc would be out of synch on the new site and I believe I would need to manually update them all. I have not found if there is a way to export posts from one Articulate blog and import them to another either.
and therefore in the previous system, create a template that will write out the existing content into this format, so you can move it from one to the other ?
You can export your Articulate blogs with the BlogMl exporter on the Articulate dashboard in the developer section, then re-import them with the same dashboard on your other site

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Hi Kid-disaster
I'm wondering if you could use the Importer tab in Articulate:
https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/wiki/Importing
that will import blog content from a valid BlogMI.xml file
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/Shazwazza/Articulate/BlogMLSample1.xml
and therefore in the previous system, create a template that will write out the existing content into this format, so you can move it from one to the other ?
Otherwise, I'd look at CMSImport
https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/cmsimport/
taht would enable you to import from an Umbraco source into a new Umbraco site...
