    Is there an easy way to move a standalone wordpress installation from the 2.x branch to a being a blog within a Wordpress MU installation.

    I'd like to move 8 individual blogs I have setup (each in seperate wordpress blogs) to just setting them up within Wordpress Mu.

    Ideas?

    Depends actually. Does 2.x mean 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2? There is a difference.

    If it's 2.1 or 2.2, then:

    In the old blog click Manage > Export > and save the file

    In the new blog click Manage > Import > and upload the file

    If you have 2.0, you're going to have issues with the transfer. Best bet would be to upgrade to 2.2 and then do the export. There was a plugin for 2.0 but the format's been changed during the upgrades.

    Gotta admit that this has been covered many times over here in the forums. May want to try to get comfortable with searching.

    Hope this helps,
