If it's a small blog, we could probably help cut and paste it in if he'd really like to use it. At some point, I'd like to create a database mapping tool so that you could create a dump from WordPress or Blogger and just transpose it in to Maneno. The only issue in this is time of course. If you have any other questions feel free to email me: my name at maneno.org Sorry for the delayed response, but I apparently wasn't set to receive notifications to new comments on this point. Hopefully I've fixed that now. -miquel Well, it depends on the size of the source blog. If it’s a small blog, we could probably help cut and paste it in if he’d really like to use it.

Kaushal referred me to you and Maneno. Wow, Maneno indeed is a great platform: I'll pass the info on. Question: is it possible to transfer existing WordPress data files to Maneno? Or do you have to start a Maneno blog from scratch? Thank you for your reply.

I am amazed at how fast the pages load over our slow connections. The formatting options are limited at least for now, but then that's a small price to pay for unloading so much overhead. I've started a copy of my blogspot blog there (at <a href='http://computerdocinjos.maneno.org/eng/' rel="nofollow">Computer Doc in Jos</a>) and will see how it goes. I like the collection of African blogs there, too, but as the site grows I'm sure it will change from its "small town" feeling to something more impersonal. What a find!
