# Partial blog export

 * A category on one of my blogs has grown to the point where breaking it into an
   entirely separate blog seems necessary.
 * Is there a way to export all of the posts and comments belonging to a taxonomy
   category into a WXR file, to be imported into another WordPress instance? A search
   of Google has found nothing.
 * I could probably put together an SQL query that would return all the posts and
   comments (assuming _post\_title _is used to link comments to posts, not something
   in the postmeta table; as that would hurt my head too much), but that still means
   I have to migrate media manually.
 * So basically, what’s the easiest way?

 * Go to /wp-admin/export.php. Select to export the posts and then select the appropriate
   category.

 * Custom Taxonomies data isn’t preserved through the default exporter. I probably
   should have mentioned that.
