Move on

I have been copying blog entries from my boss' previous blog account http://povertycafe.easyjournal.com into his new blog account http://povertycafe.blogspot.com that I have just created yesterday.

It's a tedious process since I don't know of any method wherein I can import blog entries from the old account into a new one.

The reason I am doing this is because, I felt a little insecure about easyjournal's blog services when, after processing xml feeds using php and displaying the latest blog entry in our home page poverty cafe, the user is being misled when clicking on the permanent link of the blog entry.

Sounds confusing isn't it? I will try to be more specific

I subscribe to the rss feed of my boss easyjournal blog ( http://povertycafe.easyjournal.com ).
When I checked on the raw xml codes, I noticed that the links has been modified into http://povertycafe.peanutbutterbagels.easyjournal.com! I have no idea how this happens. Do you?

Obviously, in any parser script that you make, the link will take you to whatever it is in the raw xml codes that you parse. I dont see any connection at all between http://povertycafe.easyjournal.com and http://povertycafe.peanutbutterbagels.easyjournal.com

Hence, I moved on to google's blogspot and my boss says we made a wise decision.
