I'm thinking of transferring my blog from my old groaning PC (OS - Win98) to my spanking new laptop (OS - Win XP).  Realised how much i missed blogging while away - so many stories to tell - and the spontaneity is lost when the moment passes.  Could have blogged through email - but somehow never got around to setting it up. 

I tried this :

Steps 

1. Download and install Radio on the second machine you want to move to.

2. Launch Radio and from the "Are you re-installing Radio?" section of the setup page fill in your usernum and password.

If you are using a proxy server, setup the "Proxy server settings" section first.

3. Exit and shut down Radio.

4. From your computer that you have been using Radio on, copy the Data Files and www folder (sub-folders of the Radio UserLand folder) to the Radio UserLand folder on the second computer.

You should also copy your Macros, Themes, Tools and Web Services sub-folders if you have modified any of the files in these folders.

5. Launch Radio on the second computer. Your weblog posts should appear when the desktop website home page opens in your browser.

There are a few preferences (eg. mail server, organization) that won't be retained when you move Radio. Also, you may need to update any file paths used by any Tools.

If you have registered Radio, you will need to re-enter your serial number. With Radio running, you can find a copy of your serial number on the Weather Report help page on your first machine. Or you can follow these instructions to retrieve your serial number from the UserLand store.

I think i'm missing something somewhere - i downloaded and installed radio on my new machine - but don't know where to register my usernum and password - the problem is that i wasn't asked for a usernum or password as per the instructions - so its like a new subscription. 

Any suggestions ?

LATEST UPDATE : It works !  Thanks Lawrence Lee, Andy Fargan, Lilia :)
