BlogML Support

I've added support for importing data from a BlogML file.  The support was added to both the setup wizard and the AtomSite Manager Tools section.

BlogML Wizard Support

Setup BlogML BlogML Wizard

 

BlogML Import and Export Tools

BlogML Import Export Tool

You can choose to import blog posts and articles into any collection that accepts entries.  You can also choose a collection that supports media for image attachments.  There are three modes of importing the data:

Import Mode Description
New Mode This mode is used during the setup wizard.  It will replace the existing, blog, pages, and media collections with the data in the BlogML file. This mode allows you to choose the collection name. It will also create an about page and blogroll page if there are no existing articles with these names.
Merge Mode This mode can be chosen from Import/Export tools page.  It will import the data in the BlogML file into existing collections only updating when the data doesn't already exist.
Overwrite Mode This mode can be chosen from Import/Export tools page. It will clear out any existing data before importing the data into the selected existing collections.

The export tool will write entries into a BlogML file. However, attachments are not yet supported.

This is cool. So far this project is the most promising blog/CMS application using ASP.NET MVC.
I'm looking forward to see the database repository feature. Is it going to be released, as planned, with the next version of Atom Site in September?

The database repository is still on the roadmap and I'm still researching extensible database schemas.
